search is your friend on this site...

for a bone stock car starting with a cold air intake, headers, CAT back exhaust would be the most basic start to build from there

the list gets quite long from there so your pocket book needs to be able to support that

Welcome to LT1 land, the forums are your friends if you can have some thick skin as the LT1 is not known well by most shops.

Start with the basics, get air in, get air out. Get a cold air intake like K&N, moroso, LPE, or an LS1 lid. Then a flow through catback exhaust like magnaflow, borla, hooker, anything but flowmaster (chokemaster). You can google what you want and compare prices from different vendors or buy used from the for sale section on a forum or Craigslist.

Next is long tube headers and making the decision if you want to stay emissions friendly. With this get a mail order tune and then reevaluate your budget and direction. Valvesprings and non self aligning rockers are next, then suspension.

I have found a few of these things on Texas speed is that a good company to go thru? And the mail order tune I have not found yet
