NEWBIE What are the first mods to the Camaro
I plan on buying a 1993-97 Camaro LT1 very soon, so what are the first mods that I should do to it, and what are they worth in HP/TRQ, and what` are the stock dyno numbers and stock 1/4 mile times?

Um, most people go with a cold air intake that is good for 10 or 15 rwhp... Moroso or K&N are most popular. 180 to your door if i remember correctly... its been so long 
. As for stock times, an M6 runs about a 14 flat if you can drive and puts down about 240-250 rwhp...

if you get a m6 go ahead n get you a good clutch and a 12 bolt. if you can drive pretty good a nitrous kit. that will be all you need to start off

If you buy on Ebay, be sure to only get a name brand cold air intake. There are some junk ones on there that heat up badly and are worse than stock.

Re: NEWBIE What are the first mods to the Camaro
I have seen some pretty nice cars for about $6k on autotrader, most of them have an auto, but compared to my Grand Prix GTP that is for sale, they are ALOT stronger. I drove a friend of mines this weekend, and decided against getting a Mustang. The Camaro I may get has an auto, would that change any of your opinions?
Did I read on here that someone put a Ford 8.8 rear in their Camaro? I am hoping I read that right because those rear ends are pretty cheap, and pretty easy to swap gears out of.
So how much HP/TRQ can the stock Camaro rearend take?
So I should get a CAI first (K&N), and a Cat back exhaust, and gears? Right so far?
