Arrow Best way to spend $500?

I am looking to gain as much horsepower/torque as possible for my 94' LT1 camaro and i only have around $500 to play around with. What aftermarket parts should i buy without going over my limit?

actually, if you keep the factory intake elbow, and choose magnaflow or Hooker, you can do both if you get an ebay chrome CAI. It won't be as good as a K+N unit but better than stock.

OR, if you want torque because it's good, simply pay the check to me and you'll have my gratitude...........

I've already got a CAI system and hooker headers. I was thinking more along the lines of cams or pulleys. Something that requires a little more work

I believe the rules said to state what you have when you ask questions like this? That way youre time nor any other will be wasted with answers about stuff you already have.

you can get a cam for 250-350, but it would cost even more on a tune, not to mention new valve springs,1.6rr

If you don't do a lot of freeway driving and want more power it's hard to beat a set of lower rear end gears for more power and quicker acceleration.

Do you have Hooker long tubes, or are you running shorties? If we could get a comprehensive list of all your current mods so we know where you're at in your build this thread will become much more helpful to you.
