Default Damn near brand new 02 Camaro

Hey guys, Im picking up an 02 camaro z28(a4) with 4k miles on it. Just wondering what you all would suggest for some good streetable horsepower. Im thinking LTs, ORY, a little more free flowing exhaust, underdrive pulleys, intake and lid at first. I would also like to throw in a mild cam and an ls6 intake mani. Ultimately Id like to swap to a 6 speed also. What you all recommend for a cam as well as any other mods I may have missed? Would like to get in the neighborhood of 400whp :-D Thanks guys

Get gears first, LT's off road y muffler, I went with borla. Stall get a good one and a cooler. aftermarket lid box and mod the bottom one. Then you can go from there. cam heads etc.

Ive always been a fan of texas speed, they look like they have a moderately priced full exhaust(1k or so) but I havent heard alot about their exhausts.

We got a couple but none that really deal much in the LSX. Mainly tuner cars. I have a reputable shop that Id trust to do the tuning though. It sucks theres only 1 dyno in town and they charge as *** ton to do a few pulls.

That looks just like my buddy matts old car. I love the maroon and black combo. Get some gears and a good tune first thing, and then go from there.
