I would do a search through the old posts as this comes up alot. If you are new, this is the place to be. There is plenty of good info and directions you can go with your car.

cool, my camaro had a licence plate holder up front and i like the red chevy imblem where the plate was covering it, but when i took it off there are two holes where the plate was screwed into the bumper. what do yall think i should do?

LT headers + ypipe ~$500
Shorties if you have emissions ~$400

Cat back exhaust - starting at $400. Stay away from Flowmaster-stopper

GOOD (Yank/Precision Industries) stall (around 2800rpm) - at least $500. You get what you pay for here .

CAI - $200. All are good.

Gears (3.42' or 3.73's) and install kit $250. Richmond's are noisy, Motive's are not. Both are good quality. Installation (don't do it yourself if you haven't been shown how to and done it with someone before - trust me ) $100 - $400 depending who you can find.


You will need these as supporting mods for a bigger cam.

a good tune-up and a nice exhaust. Save the rest and enjoy the car.

The previous owner of my car did that too. You could try repairing the bumper yourself, or have it professionally done, which can tally around 500 bucks.
