Hello,
I just bought my first Camaro. I am 36 years old, and have driven hopped up Diesel trucks since I was 21. Before that I owned a 89 Formula 350 Firebird. So it has been a while since driving a car.

I just purchased a 2010 SS Summit White with the Inferno Orange stripes. It is the LS3 with black Leather. The dealer had already added a Corsa Exhaust. Now I am not sure yet if it is a cat back, or axel back. I did not look yet. I get to pick this car up Saturday.

After having high HP diesels, I am up to date on performance mods for Dodge and Chevy diesels, but an a virgin to Camaro stuff.

I have read several things on here, but am real unsure which mod to do first? I assume as in most things, I should get a CAI first, but which will gain the most bang for the buck, as well as look good under the hood?

Where do I go from there? Long tube headers, short tube headers, which company or companies are best?

How about handeling? Who has a great short throw on the market?

Which tuner will be a good start? EFI Live tune? Just a little tune nothing that requires extra fuel pump, or injectors.

Thanks so much for your site, and the great people on it. I can't wait to get some pictures for you all to see my first Camaro.

Jared
