plugs
I always stay away from the platinum plugs. I think they're supposed to last longer and they might be better if you're just doing light driving, but I race and push my car hard, so I don't want one of those little bitty tips to break off and hit a valve or a piston. I always go with NGK TR55 plugs. If you want some that will last a long time, you can get the Iridium ones, I think they're TR55IX.

Short throw shifter and short stick were my first mods. After that I did the SFC and both of those make a huge difference in just pure drivability. I got the 3-points, but 2-points like the BMR ones should do fine. The lower thermostat doesn't make much difference unless you have your fans reprogrammed to come on sooner. The LT1 was built to run hotter than other sbc.
