Default Next mods

Just bought a 95 hawk with T56 and 107k miles on it.
It has Pacesetter's, ORY, underdrive pulley, LT4 knock module, and 4.10's.
What would you guys suggest for the next mods, short of a rebuild/stroker kit? Would a cam change be worth much, upgraded heads?
I am new to LT1's, so looking to see what more experienced guys would suggest. Thanks in advance.

How much are you looking to spend?
We also want to know how much power your looking to make?

For just a cam change your looking at around $1200

Looking for close to 400hp at the crank.
Looking to see if I am missing any other bolt on's other than RR's and springs.
Do not want to run nitrous at this point.
I am considering the CC503 at some time in the future. I am trying to get all of the mechanicals in good shape before too much modding.
I will probably start with sfc's first and maybe lcr's. I already have a BMR PHR that I never installed on my 02 Hawk. Want to keep that one stock.

Does anyone know if the brake pedal on my 95 should feel stiff compared to the 02? Stops fine, but takes more pedal effort. Will a booster from a LS1 car fit the 95? How about a good place to get a good sending unit for the fuel tank? Would like to get the gas gauge working as well.

Rockauto has a sending unit listed for $275, and you can usually find their discount code out on the web (or I can PM it). On my 95, the brake pedal is like a rock, but it'll slow that thing down in a hurry.
