Special Edition Vehicles - Will the SS options impact mod plans at all?

98 Camaro SS A4

Using one of the stickies I did my best to decipher the codes. My questions are,

1.) What exactly are the "suspension system, special ride and handling" and the "performance exhaust" upgrades?

2.) Are any of the unidentified codes in my below list anything noteworthy?

3.) Will any of the SS performance options impact my standard plan of upgrades lid>long tube headers>cat back>catted pipe>stall>3.73s>cam/heads with some minor suspension things sprinkled in there such as sub-frame connectors? Aka can I skip any of the upgrades because of stock options?

Unknown:
What is B84, CAE, IP2, NB6, PBT, R62, R7A, R9U, STE, U62, VG6, VG8, V73, WU8, YA7, YF5, 1AY, 1SH, 1SZ, 41Q, , 52I, 6ZM, 7ZM, 8Tj, 9TJ

Known/possibly noteworthy:
GU5 - Axle Ratio 3.23, Rear
FE4 - Suspension System, Special Ride and Handling
N73 - Wheel, Custom Sport Var4 17"
QFK - Tire, All P275/40R17-93W BW HW4
Y2Y - Exhaust Upgrade Option Code for SS Camaro (Dual-Dual system)
56T – Neutral top
41U – black convertible
522 – Neutral leather

Thank you for your help!

To answer question # 3 no, none of your SS options should effect your mods. You would gain more power if you switched from your stock cat-back to a aftermarket one like borla or loudmouth. If you like the sound of it and don't want your car too loud you can get longtubes and a mid pipe, keep the stock cat-back and see how you like it. I wouldn't skip the sub-frame connectors. They keep your car going straight so you don't end up in a ditch. But like i said none of your SS performance options should keep you from modding.

my buddy has a 02 ss and i ran his RPOs and saved the meanings i found all except for R62 i dont wanna say these definitions are entirely correct because GM is known to recycle them you might wanna try running your VIN in this website : compnine.com

hope this was a help as far as mods go (based of my friends SS) he had no problems doing a full exhuast and left the center tips as well

I'm pretty sure Comp9 is no more... I tried to use it a few months ago and it wasn't there anymore.

It's back I used it a few days ago

It's back I used it a few days ago

Oh, good deal... Thanks for letting everyone know. That sight is awesome.
