General help with what to do with my SS I have a 2002 Camaro SS. I bought the car with center mount exhaust, full suspension (minus panhar bar), B&M shift kit and Lingenfelter intake.
When I park it for the winter I want to get the biggest bang for my buck, I plan on getting a SLP airbox pac (runs around $300 for entire set up) Diablo II programmer, panhar bar (strut tower brace) and some new rims and tires.
What I need help with is deciding what type of cam I should get that wont hurt the life of the engine. I do not like cams that sound like the car is barely running, rather something with a nice low rumble. I also need to know what some good street tires are for the car, and if there are any notable dyno shops around Muncie Indiana.
The car is me and my dads baby and we are keeping everything we take off, just in case someone is a huge fan of stock.
Also, would anyone know how I could find out what car number mine was?
Long winded I know, but thanks for the help. There is more I could add my this computer is about to die.

Yes, call SLP for the build number. The phone number is on here somewhere.
I would say to work with some of the vendors on here (or a known local shop) for a cam. You need headers to complement that cam. I would not bother with the tuner and get a professional dyno tune, or find someone reputable that does tunes. Lots of cammed cars on here with many miles so don't be too concerned about hurting the engine.
