I'm surprised no one has said electric cooling fan. I've had the best results in the past when going from the stock fan run off the water pump to an electric fan. You can buy a kit setup for it at Advance Auto Parts. Hayden is the manufacturer and you can preset the fan to whatever temperature you want it to come on at and everything.
Duh! Don't know why I didn't mention electric fans! I have an electric fan installed in my truck and the difference is noticeable...makes it a bit quieter under the hood, too.

well it really depends on how much more hp you want if you dont want alot more then go with an intake, straight pipes give you alittle more power but not much and try and get a 3' headers they are alittle more expensive but they are good

It takes a lot of work, but you CAN put a 454 into an S-series vehicle...
