Question Make my camaro faster???

I had been kicking around the idea lately to sell my camaro and buy a 97-04 vette since I have owned my car since 01. But then I started thinking, I own the vehicle title in hand, no payments, pretty nice already with only 45k miles on the drivetrain. So I have decided to fix all the lil odds and ends, and just put the money into my car to make it even better.

So my question is, what can I do now to make my car faster within reason. I don't race, so I don't want nitrix. It's a daily driver for the most part until my avalanche I bought wrecked is completed. My current mods are in my sig.

Current, but not listed in sig:
B&M lca's
SS hood
Slotted/Cross drilled rotors
18/17 Chrome Corvette wheels

LE2 heads and cam should be your next move. Or and head cam of your choice!

this hobby is like drugs...once you turn the wrench your addicted.
just get it over with and build your motor!
your gonna do it anyway, just a matter of time.

you can start with all the bolt-on mod's and always add as you go, you only have 45k on that motor and you can easily put a cam/head package on that car without any issues, assuming the motor has been maintained.

you could start with undedrive pullies, headers, cat-back, suspension mods, etc, etc.

Nice looking Camaro you have there! I'd say that the guys are right, and you should pick up a set of Lloyds heads and a cam. I did, back before he started using stages and am very happy with the way things turned out.
