Upgrade to 4:56 gears or 4:10s if you do a lot of highway drivin, this will put your off the line gogo back to where it was when you were stock. Tranny put in a vette servo, shift kit and aftermarket trans cooler. Get a airaid MIT intake tube and drop in filter. No diablo or edge tuner, get a real custom tune from Blackbear or Wheatley. Handhelds are junk
