I'd recommend a good cold air intake, tri-y headers, catback exhaust, and PCM reprogramming for starters.

If you want to make it the most fun you've ever had......put a T56 in it.

Add some suspension upgrades and you will really fall in love with it.

You can't ever go wrong by installing a good bumpstick. LT-1's sound great with a lope at idle.

WOW thanks for the great response, i got some 2f inch 3r inch drops springs, bilstein shocks, getting sway bars throwing some bigger wheels on it first. After that i want to make it at least 450rwhp

Having a t56 would be sick i could use parts off the camaro and make it look good on the inside to im thinking... It sucks cuz it about to be winter and i have no garage right now but i got a cover lol...

Any opinions on a good gear to throw in the back?

Found this nice one on the net same suspensio im getting looks pretty mean!

Loyd Elliot and Bret Bruer will get you at the 400rwhp NA for a reasonable amount. Nothing like a matched custom cam and heads.
