Camaro speed upgrade advice needed

wierd title i know. couldnt think of another way to say it lol. ok well i have a stock '84 z28 h.o. and im now switching th tranny out for a 5-speed. i just wanted to know what upgrades can i do to it to increase the acceleration on it while shes down. im not talking about on the strip just some more push for when some import pulls up i dont look stupid lol. any advice would be helpfull and considered. if you want to bash me for ignorence save me the time and go back to looking at ****.
thanks guys-Juan

Re: Camaro speed upgrade advice needed

so many places... exhaust is a great place to start, stock is horribly restrictive. biggest acceleration difference you'll notice is by swapping out rear gears to a higher ratio, however this will reduce your top speed and fuel economy

Re: Camaro speed upgrade advice needed

the cheap stuff would be to get a set of headers and a cat back exhaust from summit, if you look enough you can find both for under 200

a cold air intake would be good too, fbodymotorsports has there own or you can make your own

pick up a set of 3.73's and get yourself a posi while your back there(not included in final stats cause its very expensive)

lastly a power programmer or chip would do you good, especially with the new exhaust and intake

Grand total: about $500
Power added: about 50-60
headers: 8-10 hp
exhaust: 15 hp
CAI: depending upon the setup up to 15 hp
Power programmer: depending on brand up to 25 hp
