I believe that I asked this before, just don't recall:

I've done the Stingers, Bassani X-pipe, Blackwing, Short shifter, what next? I'm on a limited budget....

I'm thinking ZO6 Sway bars and shocks.

Z06 shocks and sways are good mods, love the handling improvement on my C5! Do some gears soon if you can, best bang for the buck performance mod!

If your looking just for performance, then I'd say go with Z sways as well.

And add the 04 Z06 shocks or Bilstiens. You will be glad you did. Lower it and inch while you are at it and get a good alignment. Lilke a completly different car.

Default I took the same route...

next I recommend a 2800 stall tourque converter and 3:42 gears. You will be very pleased with that combo. The shocks and sways will of course improve handeling not performance.
