Exhaust, headers, 1-piece diveshaft, and a z28 rear end will all wake up your car. Basically unless you go into changing the engine internals, that's all you can do.

You forgot port abd polish intake heads and throttle body. Cam and valve train work. But that's internal.

Mrfreeze has done and is still doing most of the stuff you can for the 3.4L engines.

Going internal on the tiny 3.4 liter V6 is not worth it. The heads and intake don't flow well. This has been mentioned times before.

High-Flow cat, removing the AC compressor for a bypass pulley, remove the secndary air pump. A few other thing you can do.

Not for these cars. The Ebay cheap chips make your car run rich. Jegs sells a chip but it's over $200.00 and there's not a big difference.

Camaros from 94 on use a PCM which has EEPROMs in them that hold the timing and fuel maps. This is not... Let me repeat that NOT, chipable. You can have the PCM tuned to the new engine settings at a Dyno shop or from some place like PCM4Less. The "chips" that are out there all they do is trick the PCM into thinking sensors are reading different and usually cause too much advance and a rich mix.
