Umm....What exactly do you want to do with the car? Street, street/strip, strip? How much money do you have? Automatic or standard? TPI or TBI? Need a little more info before we can begin discussing power options.

Again, what is your budget? That will be a VERY large factor.

2 or 3 hundred wont get you anywhere on the power adder board. Your looking at atleast 500 for NOS. Since this is you first rs I wouldn't suggest jumping strait for the "Nawws". Go poke around the exhaust board and spend your money there I think every one will agree thats the best place to start on your camaro. You'll not only get a performance increase from exhaust but you'll sound cool. check it out.

Have you done the "free mods" yet? What is your mehanical aptitude? Do you feel up to a little porting and polishing of the heads? If you are frugal with your money and search the classifieds, you can pick up some bargains. My advice to you is, plan out what you want to do with your car and what kind of set-up you want to run. Then start shopping around for the parts and have fun. Be sure to match all your components, bigger isn't always better.

If you need further assistance, just ask.

Lates,

theres alot of good tech articals here jus start seaching. 300 get a a new air cleaner an a cat back system maybe a new y pipe. I think those are some basics to start with. People here are pretty cool about answering any quistion you might have. Thear are a few rag sessions on lo3's but there tuff motors an can be quick.
