In before 4.10 gears and a tuner.
Ignore CAI kits. Stock plumbing is good. Sometimes people open up the air box where it goes into the fender for more air flow.
Get a better flowing air filter like K&N or Spectre which is 1/2 the price of K&N.

I'm going to suggest Bama tuners via American Muscle because they give you custom tunes for the life of the car. 3years from now, if you add say, a supercharger they will give you a free update to your tune.
I am not sure how diablo is with tune pricing. I emailed them 4 weeks ago asking this same question and have yet to get a reply. Maybe someone using a Diablo can answer that.

Hey bud,
Not an expert on the GT by any means, but I imagine that lower gears would help off the line if you're interested in quicker 0-60 times. That's something many ppl look into doing first.
I know on my LS1 auto, transmission tuning and higher stalls are common add-ons for better acceleration, would assume the same holds true these as well.
I do know that CAIs apparently don't do much for these GTs until you get into some major engine mods, so probably don't need to worry about that.
Not much to go on, but that's about all I got... Good luck, and have fun with it!

A supercharger is a very simple way to increase HP, but it doesn't come cheap. I personally don't have the budget for it. I golf too much lol
Here, this will give you an idea on super charger costs.
As for Turbos... the only experience I have with a turbo is on a 1980 Pontiac Trans-Am Pace Car edition. Had a 301 with a turbo. We called it a Turd-o cause it was slower than my 1988 Dodge Daytona 4cyl
