Heads and cam, air intake (Vararam will give the most HP), LT headers, and if you have the cash, supercharger.

You ask a rather general question. Lots of ways to get more power. Best place to start research is on the Tech, Scan & Tune, Performance Results, and EFI boards. There is a wealth of information there related to increasing performance from bolt ons, heads, cams, and turbo's or blowers.
You need to determine your ultimate goals (drag racing, road racing, mine's bigger than yours, etc.). Do you like a lumpy idle or the whine of a blower?
Good Luck

i think you need to find out what you really want to do with the car. some things you may want to ask yourself include:
1) how streetable do you want your car (dd?)
2) do you want the car to be fast on the drag strip or on a road course?
3) is ride comfort and exhaust noise going to bother you?
if you want it to be fast on a road course i would suggest going with a NA setup and some good suspension components.
if all you care about is straight line performance, get a S/C.
no matter what you do, if you plan on adding a ton of power, be sure to beef up the drivetrain. (rebuilt tranny w/ billet synchro keys, strong diff, trans and diff brace, clutch, etc)
