1.Gears/Stall for big difference...
2.Catback
3. Lid/Ram Air
4.SFC and if lowered, then: LCA and brackets
5. Gotta go with Wheels! Nothing under 17in!!
EDIT: I think a hood is a HUGE thing too. I hate the stock hoods on 93-97 camaro's.

1) Intake & full exhaust
2) Rearend & gears
3) Cam
4) NAWS
5) Whatever appearance mods you like...


I don't know if I'd go through the trouble of turbo-ing my Camaro. Now if I had a LS1, I'd turbo that sumb*tch.

Performance-- Intake and exhaust. Let it breathe and make music

Appearance-- Tinted windows (nice, dark...not purple K-Mart junk), a really nice wax job, and a good set of wheels on low profile tires.

Seriously though,

For me, the most fun I have bolted on, or enjoyed the most were the following...(some still left to install)
These are all for getting the car to hook up and go fast in a straight line.

1) 1-Piece Driveshaft, I got stock steel, but if you can - get aluminum!!! You'll drop 12 pounds off your driveline!
2) Short Shifter (for T-5)
3) Posi-traction (and gears - 3.42's, 3.73's, or 4.10's)
4) Subframe connectors
5) Lower Control Arms (and/or Torque Arm)

So it's actually 7 pieces instead of 5. But when all combined, especially if you are running 275mm or wider tires. You'll pull just about anything off the line, even if you lose on down the track. You'll run at least 14.5 with that setup, and you're running that fast through the stock intake and exhaust!!!

With ram air, and a full exhaust, you can expect to run low 14's.

The only thing I plan on adding is a big camshaft. And I expect to run high 13's when done - with no other engine work.

3.42s. They come stock on our cars with the Y87 option. Some say 3.73s are good too but I do a lot of highway driving, so 3.42s were better for me.
