Default Stealth mods?

I'd like to keep my car original with the exception of simple or bolt-on mods. Aside from air intake, tires and headers, what are my options and what types of performance gains will I see from them? i.e. porting stock components, tune, weight reductions, etc.

My car is very stealthy, for a Vette. Z06 brakes, Z51 sways with F55, Dynotech headers, X-pipe and cats into stock exhaust, ProCharger, 42# injectors, Ron davis 57mm radiator and Meziere electric water pump. It purrs like a stocker, idles and runs like a stocker, until you open it up. Then, all hell breaks loose! I'll tell'ya, there's nothing like a little pressure!

Sounds nice. Really liked what happened when you blipped the throttle. So what have you done with it?
