long tubes, lid, ls6 intake, true duals, nice cam (ms3 is a good one) should hold together and sound nice. plus thats a great power gain

IF it was me i would get a good 12 bolt and a stall and slicks. from my experince the 10 bolt will not hold up at the track. then you can work on the engine

wow... I'd be more confused after reading all the suggestions...

First determine the goal of the car.

Daily Driver
Street only
Street/strip
Strip only
AutoX (can also go street with this)

Each one of those categories have different priorities in terms of mods.

For any f-body, Lid will be first.

After that, priorities shift. Suspension could take precedence or power. Note that I feel suspension will help a lot, especially if your car is stock as the suspension's getting up there in age and getting traction on an older car is tough in stock form. Power mods before suspension will just worsen that traction issue. Power is NOTHING if it's not put to the ground.

I consider this the starter list.

For Power:
Free mods(every bit helps)
Bolt ons:
Longtube Headers
Full exhaust (true duals or a good y setup will be better than stock)
Port and Polish Throttle body
LS6 intake (if not 01-02)
Underpulley

For the suspension:
Lower Control Arms
Lower Control Arm Relocation Brackets
Torque Arm
Pan Hard Rod
Sway Bars
Shocks/Struts
Springs
