There are many upgrades that can be done to the 93 Camaro. I have to ask is it a Z28 or not? I would start with the least expensive and work my way up. The first thing I would do is a cold air intake, be careful of the real cheap stuff. I have a complete cold air intake kit from K&N and I refabbed the plastic a little to keep it out of the engine compartment. You can upgrade your chip, change pulleys, air foil or larger throttle body, headers that are a pain to put in but worth the effort, cat back exhaust, lower gears in the rear end. I currently run the Richmond 3:73 and enjoy them because they are also good for the highway. You can also add a fuel pressure regulator and change to a 160 degree thermastat. The cooler the engine runs the more horsepower it will produce. I hope this gave you some insight and good luck with the camaro. Post some pics of it if you can.

I dont mean to be a stick in the mud, but according to his pictures; it doesnt seem to be a Z28. Unless he has the police package or the z28 badge taken it off it looks like a 6er.

Even if its not a Z28 the upgrades that I mentioned are also available for the V6 too. You might want to think about investing in a V8 though, Good luck with it.

first thing you need to do is wax that thing, it needs it, and get those mirrors painted the same color as the rest of the car.

as for engine mods, if you only want to do something once and give you big power for that 6 banger, there is a shop on e-bay that sells used turbos/supercharger's and i saw a dual turbo set up for around 600 bucks for the 3.4 v6 maro. its a private store listing so it wont show up if you search for it, so pm me and ill give you the guys site, only if your serious about getting one.
