Question What to do next?

I have just recently modded my car slightly. It is a babied 1994 Camaro Z28. Here is a list of my new mods.

SS airbox with K&N air filter
160 hypertech thermostat
air temperature module
TPI air foil
manual fan switch
Custom free flowing exhaust

What are your guys ideas for other modifications for me to do? I really don't have many ideas, but im sure I don't want to take on the problems that NOS will give me. ANy suggestions??????
Also does anyone have any ideas on horsepower levels I might be at right now?????

All advice will help substantially.............

just curious how you have an SS airbox but don't list a ram air hood?

anyway...

for some more small improvements you could do pullies, throttlebody bypass (free), and port out the maf sensor (highly debated).

and depending on the extent of you "custom exhaust", headers and a gutted cat, maybe a cutout too.

if you've got the headers and all that, maybe look into a computer reprogram by madwolf or pcmforless. i think that's only $100 since you have obd1.

If you don't have headers yet, I'd suggest picking up a set of those next. Also, if your car is an automatic, a high stall torque converter is great if you do a lot of racing.

you could go all out and go for a heads cam package.

maybe something along the lines of a 224/230 cam, ported LT1 heads, roller rockers.

that should get you easily to 350 hp at the wheels (maybe closer to 375 dpending on tune and exhaust)

I would suggest getting some Hooker longtube headers, LT4 Hotcam kit and Reprogram for your computer.
