Default best mods

Just got my 98 Z 28. Can anyone suggest the best 3 or 4 mods for increasing HP? If I went with Nitrous what mods would I need to do first? Any info will be helpful.

Well you need to get it breathing so..

LS6 or fast 90 intake
Long tube headers with true duals or ORY
Cam package, heads if you got the money

Those with N20 will make you happy Now one final thing... 6spd car do gears, if its a auto car do a stall.
