New guy from VA I have a 98 Camaro Z28. I've had it for a few months now, mainly a troll on ls1tech, reading the write ups, doing lots of research, and learning a whole lot. So thanks to all in the tech community.
Currently I have a lot of appearance mods, an slp lid with k&n and fast toys ram air installed. I have a pair of pacesetter long tubes and sweet thunder true duals from Texas speed just waiting to be installed. I'm looking to upgrading to an ls6 intake. Not sure where to take it from there after that but I'm learning. Its nice to have your dream car at such a young age.

What would you recommend for power upgrades? As I mentioned I do have the long tubes and the true duals just waiting to be put on, I heard it's night and day difference on performance and the sound is a wet dream.
Can't say I've heard of Virginia Speed either, is it a race track? A place for performance parts?...Although I do have a bit of knowledge on this stuff I'm still new and learning, so I appreciate any insight.

Virginia Speed is a performance shop in Va Beach. Full machining capability and in house dyno and all kinds of nice pretty parts on the showroom floor. A car enthusiasts wet dream. The bolt on parts will get you some power but if you're looking for real power, look into heads and a cam. Also look at intakes, throttle bodies, forced induction or nitrous. It really all depends on you and what kind of power levels you are looking for.

Thanks for the heads up, I reckon I'll head out there during the summer months and check it out. 
As for the amount of power I want to push. I'm looking to have around 400 as a daily driver, build on up to more. I don't have the funds to do everything all at once, so little by little, this is my long term goal.
I'm going to have to read up on some of the things you mentioned. As I said I'm aiming for upgrading to an ls6 intake or fast, but that's a way off, first I wanna get the true duals installed.
