You'll need a healthy dose of patience, and time. If your not eliminating the air and egr, things take longer. You get more hp if you remove the emission crap. My runs like a raped ape with only a set of long tubes, a 3" ORY, a custom 3' cat back to a Hooker muffler, a CAI, a chip, and a shift kit. For handling, I went with an entire BMR suspension front and rear with Bilstein shocks, and Eibach springs. Now I can corner using all the power the car makes. The A arms with their new ball joints made a huge difference over stock. The torque arm is a noticeable improvement when launching.

I may be able to get my teachers to let me do it in the shop which would give me access to a lift and stuff but if not ill still do it at home. It will just take longer but i should be able to get it done over a weekend. However i plan on taking some machine shop classes because they will let me build a motor there and the teacher is an awesome engine builder. He got ten seasons out of his drag motor he built there, i think he said it lasted around 6000 passes with just doing rings and valves every few seasons. So i may pull the motor from the camaro and build a 383 and do the headers while i swap it back in.
