What do you think I can expect

Just looking for a little input and opinions.

As I've stated before I no car guy, I'm just a dude who owns a 2LT Camaro and drives it to work and to town for fun.

In the next week or so I'll be putting on a number of mods.
-LFX Ported Intake from JacFab
-CAI cold air intake
-Overkill 80 mm Throttle Body
-Overkill 91+ octane tune
-Magnaflow Cat-Back exhaust system

Out of simple curiosity I'm curious what I could and or should expect as far as gains. If a person has an idea on HP gains, that's great. I'm asking more so about how will the car feel and perform (a more subjective opinion). Heck I just learned today about "competitive mode" and that I can turn Stabiliitrack completely off and I've owned this car how long now!

Everything is already bought and delivered or in the mail. No point in telling me in dumb and wasted my money on this or that.

no idea.i bought a front strut brace for my RS not expecting much other than it would look cool,but it does seem to feel more composed over bumps and railroad tracks.mulling over getting a cold air intake also.at the very least it will look and sound cooler.

Ya might want to post this question on the V6 section, I see them doing ALL kinds of mods and they would be a better crowd to ask of. That way they all will see your post.

So my car has 102,000 miles on it. Is a catch can putting a bandaid on an amputation? Can I clean the pervious damage and attempt to start close to clean and add a catch can now?

A catch can is always a good idea no matter the mileage.
