I would say swapping the air cleaner assembly lid for the lid only of a 2002 LS6 style. The opening for air is approximately 5 times that of the LS1 lid. Will make a noticeable difference for approximately 45 dollars.

It's not scientific but after the few simple things are done you can figure about $100 per rear wheel horse power. So it really becomes a question not of "as much as I can get " but, unfortuneately, "how much can I afford ?" Welcome to the club.

A new camshaft is a pretty cheap way to increase hp. spend 1000 bucks and gain up to 70rwhp. a supercharge is a descent way to do it as well. 6500 bucks and 150-200 rwhp

ahahah>>> The general progression in to upgrade headers before making valvetrain modifications. There are cams that make 70rwhp (LG motorsports G5-X3) put they are very lopey (sounds like a stock car idle) and can be less street friendly to drive. A more conservative cam would yield around 40rwhp, but i am not sure by how much that would be diminished if you dont first upgrade the exhaust pipes.

i'm no expert - but like someone mentioned above - headers first
then heads and cam
we have a girl in our local group that is pounding over 400 RWHP in her 98 (i think) with long tubes, a cam, different rockers and a SOLID tune!
watchout when she gets heads!
