The first thing I would start doing would be a CAI or Exaust. Then from there go to KM and MSD "wires, blaster coil",

Well the list never ends but heres a few that I'd suggest. Some I'm gonna do!, also may be of some help to you. CAI, TB Bypass, MAF Screen Delete, TPS Mod, 3" Catback, Pacesetter LT's, 3" ORY Pipe, 52-58mm TB, UD Pulley-be sure to get a Overdrive Alt. Pulley if it's on a automatic car, Suspension, Stall, Gears, and NOS....oh and some money b/c thats gonna take alot of it. But those will get you started and some decent times.

underdrive pulley is worthless on lt1's, de screening the maf can be risky if you dont know what you are doing. TB by pass is a good one. other than that, CAI, headers, catback, cut out, duals, etc, gears, stall, with tune will see your best gains.

There is all kinds of stuff, expect to pay a little more for it, the after market isn't plentiful and cheap like the LSX stuff, that's one of the reasons I switched.
