i went power first. I did Roto-fab CAI and then straight to an edelbrock E-force supercharger.

I am not working on suspension. Going to order some rear cradle bushings and trailing arms first. Future will be sways and springs or coilovers.

Why not a mixture of both?

My mod Short List:
  • Shifter
  • CAI
  • High flow cats
  • Bushings
  • Sways

With this list you will get 25+ RWHP, better sound, better shifting, less wheel hop, and better handling. All this at a relatively low cost.

Later on if you decide to get LTs sell the cats to go towards the purchase of the LTs and another set of LT high flow cats.

You want to mod your car little by little and appreciate each mod before you move on. IMO

Make it "handle" the power it has before adding anymore. A good set of sways will change the car. And remember, you'll go faster because it handles the power better by putting it to the ground.

I don't have a Camaro, but I went with handeling first. I like going fast around corners without seeing where I just came from and the rearview showing where I am going. It all depends on what YOU want to do. Most pony car owners will be satisfied with the stock handeling and power, the remainder will seperate into the drag race crowd and the road race crowd. Pick your mental illness and go from there.

Make it loader first. Added headers LT, 3" exhaust back to axle, CAI, performance tune, and next is a performance suspension according to the power developed. 361rwhp.

Thanks for all the feed back so far. I'm leaning more towards the handling department becuase I only have 12,000kms on the car and its winter here now. I figure I would go with BMR for everything. Complete bushing front and rear bushing kits, lowering springs, f&r sways and trailing arms. Once summer comes again I should be able to get headers, cb system and dyno tune. This will be my daily driver with little track time.
