Default Thinking of other upgrades

I have a 94 z28 Camaro and I am trying to think of more upgrades I could do. It already has ported and polished heads, intake, 1.6 rocker arms, twin 58mm throttle body, pacesetter long tube headers, and a borla exhaust system. I know I can switch the cam out to a bigger cam, could do 3.73 gears, but that stuff gets somewhat spendy and with college coming up idk if I want to spend that much on it. Just trying to get ideas on some cheaper things I could do to add horsepower and sound, I've been thinking of a cool air intake if those are worth it? Thanks for any inputs!

Start thinking suspension upgrades -- it will make the car much more fun... Bilstein or Koni Sport shocks, Strano hollow sways, STB, Fays2 Watts Link, etc.

Bilstein is amazing, yes, but when I went to buy, and paid for, my full suspension kit I got a call A MONTH LATER saying they are 4-5 months back ordered, so if you do want that make sure to ask, if they are back ordered and if so HOW LONG

if from strano he orders his parts to his specs so some times backordering will occur. if i remember right his bilsteins are made or modified to his specs as well. sam is a small business and cannot keep a large invintory. sometimes extraordinary products take time to get. i know i had a several week wait on my sway bar set,,, it was well worth it.

Yeah I wish I had waited after having to replace my shocks in 2 years, but I couldn't wait at the time, i had stock shocks and also didn't know better back then, what kind of sway bar did you go with?
