Starting new build from stock. What are the best 5 or so mods to do to a stock LT1? Looking for decent power upgrades without using the obvious ( supercharger or nitrous ). Thanks for all help.

that plus
sub frame connectors
PCM tune
Lower control arms
shocks/springs
Torque arm
new bushings
maybe a rebuild if your over 100k
Cam-depending on miles, buying new or used parts, paying for labor or doing it yourself,etc.
If your doing the work and buy all used stuff your 5k will take you a real long way. Maybe into the 10's if you use n2o. Lots of guys have ran real quick with 3-4k in mods.

Thanks. Five grand is a good starting budget. Car has 92000 miles. Can do some stuff myself nothing to intricate though. Would eventually like to run a procharger @ 10 to 12 psi.
