Default Good first mods

What are some good first mods to bring the Z up to around 400-450 RWHP? I'm sure this has been asked about a million times, but I would like fresh answers.

Buck I'm in the exact same place you are with a bone-stock ZO6 I want to mod and wondering where to start, but I'd like to end up with 450-515 Hp (or so).

After asking the same question as you awhile back this what I'm planning based on the advice I got:

Phase I: AFR 205 Mongoose heads, LG streets, X pipe, retain stock TI exhaust.

Phase II: A & A Vortech blower kit running a pretty conservative amt of boost (but still should put out good with the heads & LG's), purchased from & installed by my buddies right down the street from me, LG Motorsports.

Phase II would probably take place in about a year, thinking of taking lots of pics and putting up the build progress in a thread on here. Perhaps LG might consider making it a project/calling card car.
