Get a TR214/220-115+2...aka... The "old man cam"
You'll have to get the cam and the valve springs, however, because it's got a .600 lift on the intake side. Might as well get their package deal with pushrods and all... cam, springs, pushrods...600 bucks.

gut those cats, get an intake, Magnaflow muffler or catback, custom tune. Less than a grand total and a huge difference. Then 4.10's.
Thats about the best start. After that its time to crack into the motor.

headers - get long tube and preferably equal-length primaries, get ceramic coating and/or stainless steel for durability
exhaust - make it as free-flowing as possible
tune - get a mail-order tune (nelson performance, wait4me, pcmforless.com, etc.) or even better a live dyno/street tune
efans - get some electric fans, they free up horsepower, 05-up trucks have them and they bolt right it with the combination or a 34" radiator, or retor-fit LS1 f-body fans or get an aftermarket setup
underdrive pulleys - they also free-up horsepower, and consist of an underdrive crank pulley and sometimes an overdrive alternator pulley for the alternator to work properly
gears and lsd - getting lower gears and a aftermarket lsd will make it feel much better, but wont add HP or TQ on dyno
higher stall speed torque converter - will help with take off, and i dont know awhole lot about this some one else can explain it
will probably need some tranny mods for it to hold up to your new power, servos, shift kits etc.
also some mods that are debatable on helping or not are, ported TB, TB bypass,
after this you will need to crack the engine to add cam, heads, etc. for more power without boost or spray
