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.

Great to have another Kentucky boy around here!

The questions you asked are some of the most polarizing questions asked around here, everyone loves what they have. There are some obvious front runners out there though. Check out TheHorsepowerJunkies.com. There are several good articles on there; What Is The Best Air Intake For The Camaro SS? and Choosing The Right Headers should be helpful. As far as tuning goes, for close to the same kind of cash you are going to spend on a hand held tuner you can get a custom dyno tune from any number of very talented tuners around here.

If you have any questions or need any help feel free to hit me up. We carry most of the products people want for these cars and since you are so close I can get them to you next day in most cases.
