Do a search but it will basically involve a full exhaust, a bigger cam, some work to the heads or different ones, gears, and alot of DIY chip work.

would like to know so of the keys parts to start making my car faster
Start by reading the stickies at the top of the page, especially the "New to TBI" thread. That will give you some good ideas on how and/or where to start. Just be patient, and don't be afraid to ask questions. We all had to start somewhere.

You may want to consider gears as your first mod. My friend just recently swaped out his 2.73 gears for 3.73's in his mustang. I know it's not a thirdgen but we got very good before and after g-tech pro times with the swap. He dropped from a consistant 15.1 to a 14.6 with nothing more than the gears. If your car has 2.73's do the gear and posi swap first then dive into the exhaust and cam swap. You may want to stick with 3.42's instead of the 3.73's since your camaro has a deeper first gear in the tranny and your OD isn't quite as low.
Ohh, and don't underestimate the power of DIY tuning.
