You could do the SLP or Edel. runners, a 52mm tb, tb bypass and a adj. fuel pressure reg.

And descreen your MAF. It yook only 5 minutes. Many people don't like descreening because it can damage your MAF if some debris gets through. But I needed the extra air with my setup.

I had my computer tuned by pcm4less after my mods. Not sure if you'd need that or not.

Torque converter. You've already got the cooler.

A converter is pretty much the single biggest bang for the buck you can do on an auto. Don't cheap out for some crappy TCI or B&M holeshot stuff either, do it right and go with Yank, P.I., or Circle-D.

Not much of a gain. Can't find the article but it was a gain of 30cfm or so. My computer was tuned for the descreened.

The runners are not on yet. My shop couldn't get them to fit due to fuel rail clearance. I just ordered the proper bolts today and I'm going to try to install them myself. I've been looking for a reason to buy a small grinder.
