Default what bolt ons can i put

i want to buy some bolt ons and put them on myself cuz i like playing around with those kind of things, i currently have a flowmasters exaust, a cold air intake, a stage 2 clutch and a performance idle pully....

what else can i change or put on it myself to help the performance, please keep in mind i dont have a lift, so this will all be done in my garage..
if you guys can give me a list of things, so i can start working on them, nothing to crazy too do, im just a starter..

Stuff you can do in a garage with no lift:

Advance your timing
Cylinder heads
Camshaft
Intake Manifold
TB
MAF (although you already have a decent one)
Fuel Injectors
Fuel Pump (if you can get your hands on some jack stands or something.)
Adjustable Fuel Pressure Regulator
Supercharger / Turbocharger
Nitrous
Headers
Offroad midpipe / Midpipe w/ high-flow cats
Aftermarket ignition system (Like an MSD box w/. wires, distributor, coil, plugs, etc.)
Remove A/C, Smog pump, and possible powersteering if you want.
Underdrive pulleys
Upper and Lower control arms... or complete suspension for that matter


That should keep you busy awhile

Shorty headers, aftermarket intake manifold, 3.73 gears, that should get you going.
