Mods are in my sig. Modding is part of the hobby. I love it! (Yes, I'm aware my plates are covered. It is a habit.)

First of all you have the best mod a Camaro can have; the top goes down. Add some headers and high flow cats, get a tune and that will keep you happy for, like, 3 months. Then think about gears or go straight to F.I. Don't forget about the suspension. Good luck.

I totally agree about the top being the best mod. And in time I hope to do all those mods.

I'm chipping away at that list. I got a tune from DynoSteve.

I am definitely looking at doing that. And a ported throttle body.

Me personally I would skip the throttle body and use that money towards gears or a stall convertor.

That will be a nice gain of 40-50rwhp.

Not much, if any, bang for the buck for $200-250. It makes for a smoother throttle response, but, not any real hp,1-5hp. The gears would be my next move. Stall converter if you like going in a straight line only.

I agree with the above statement just to note though there are specialized stall convertors for if you like turns as well but as noted most use it for drag racing and can lower 4 to 8th on your quarter mile time, for some cars a throttle body is a pretty good add on, but for our cars expecially at lower power levels its just not worth it in my opinion some may Disagree though
