Lots of things you could do, can't really make recommendations without an idea of your goals and budget.
There is a ton of info to search through on this site if you just want random ideas though.

For an auto, I would forget about gears for now and upgrade the stall speed first. 3500 minimum. Gears can be done later if you find the stall to be too loose for your preferences, but any additional gains from gears would be minimal.
Lots of info can be found on this in the auto trans section.
You don't have a Firehawk (WU6) OR a WS6, as seen on your SPID. It's just a base Trans Am, and not every LS1 came with a ram air hood (yours is not original to the car, as you don't have the WS6 RPO code.)
