Question I need to fix the trans (6spd). What else should I replace while it's out?

I have a 2001 Z, 6spd with 100k miles. When I bought the car, I knew it had some tranny issues (I got it cheap). The syncro's are going out in 2nd, and reverse will pop out.

I haven't gotten it fixed it, but I plan to shortly. I do know that I will replace the clutch that is in there with an LS2/LS7 combo.

As for plans for the car? I'd like to do H/C within a year, and then go with an STS turbo at 5psi. I'm not looking for drag car, just a fast DD.

Since I need to fix the trans now, I'd also like to look into making it strong to handle around 450-500hp. I figure with H/C and Turbo, that would be a good number for me. The turbo won't happen for at least 2 years (one power adder a year). So, I'm looking for something to make it a bit stronger, yet not too bad for daily driving, and won't cost $3k.

Right now the car is all stock. While the trans is out, what else should look into replacing?

Thanks.
Milo.
