Default Mods - Order of Install?

Hey all, I am pretty new to the site. I own a 95 Camaro Z28 (110k miles). I have been doing a lot of reading and there are tons of great guides on this site showing different possible mods but my questions is:

What is a good "order" in which mods should be done? Where should I start and what should I try to finish with? After what point in modding should I get the car retuned? Maybe some people could post their oppinions on the best routes or how they did their own car?

My goal is not to be a 10 second car or be a "track" car, im simply looking to make my daily driver street car more durable and more powerful I might take it to the track a few times just to see how it does but most likely not on a regular basis.

The car came lowered with a flowmaster exhaust system already installed.

Here is the start of my list, all comments suggestions etc are welcome:

Edit: Think I might try to do something along this route:

Thanks for all the help

PS: heres a pic of the car

I think "lid" is restricted to the LS1 crowd. The cold air is about all you can do in that respect. Headers are good but most will tell you to stick to the long tubes for max power gain. If you are running Flowmaster, I personally recommend a cutout after each header or behind the Y cuz the Flowmaster might choke you down. You can also put next on the list some tuning to get better gains out of your existing mods. Suspension is also a good place to start and some might even tell you to do it first but I'm not gonna get into suspensions.
