So far your plans sound good. That is pretty much what I have on my car. With your car being a 98 I would do an LS6 intake then maybe some longtubes and after that a cam...

LS6 intake has been proven, the LSx hasn't been proven enough for me yet. But I'm sure with the right tuning you would benefit more out of it than the LS6

I think exhaust would benefit you quite a bit right now. It looks like you are running stock everything on exhaust. I would start with either a nice catback or a cutout, then get some headers. Then throw a nice cam (and new pushrods!) in there and tune it
