Nitrous(maybe)
Street Slicks
Exhaust

CAI
MAF
Chip
Torque Converter
Underdrive pulleys

If anything else!!!
Thanks

Gears- Up to you...plenty of good brands out there.
Headers- Hooker LT's, coated
Cam- Again, up to you...the Hotcam kit is a good kit since it includes roller rockers but you'll want to go bigger down the road.
Nitrous- NX wet
Slicks- These can wait...if you want a good DR, check Nitto or other brands.
Exhaust manifolds- Covered under headers...you get rid of your stock manifolds when you get headers.
CAI- Up to you...K&N probably the most popular.
MAF- wouldn't worry about it yet if at all
Chip- Only the 93 had a "chip" you can get custom programming from Ed Wright, www.pcmforless.com or buy LT1_Edit
Torque Converter- Midwest
Underdrive pulleys- Again...wouldn't worry about that yet...if at all.

You pretty much got it....but you're missing a very important part. With all of that new found power, you'll have trouble getting it to the ground without suspension work.

Take you time. Read the board and do searches for things you are interested in learning. You may have grandoise plans right now but unless you have $100 bills falling out of your butt, it will take time.

.357 or a .45

Or if you stick a knife in at the base of his skull and jiggle...um...oops, you're talking about cars.

Depends on what he has and what he runs.
