You will enjoy the S1 cams. I agree with the others about headstuds and valve springs, you don't need them just yet, but since you are in there anyway it's good insurance for future power. A wideband should be one of the first things done with any other power mod.
If you are not driving it like it is stolen the stock clutch will hold up for a while. I was at 415/390 for a bit before I needed a new clutch. Took it to the dragstrip quite a few times, ran in the 11s and then clutch was done.

I'd go for cams next, that's basically what I'm doing too. I've read S1's are great on the stock turbo, giving a good midrange improvement and additional top end. S2's may give up a little spool but have more top end than the S1's. I went with the S2 btw.
Ditch the wideband too unless your going to self-tune. I have one and never use it. Hell a tuner will turn the one in your car off and use the tailpipe one anyway Also ditch the head studs - wait till you take the head off for a larger build. And add a 255 fp like others said.

Listen I'm not getting into the debate about high or low reading dynos. The 2 evo 9's which i watched being tune both made 370. One had stock IC and the other AMS, both had LICP, Fuel pump, intake, and a great tuner who knew what he was doing. The fact of the matter is I heard either on thhis forum that DynoJet is the US standard for chassis dyno. Cams on a evo 9 on stock turbo is over kill.
