Just bought a 99 SS, what to do 1st Hey guys, I just bought a 99 SS 6 spd, 115k It looks to be stock. I have serviced the rear end, (gear oil & pinion seal) replaced both idler & tensioner pullies, fuel filter, serp belt. The antifreeze is fine, oil change soon. It has a Volant Air intake and a Hooker cat back sys. That do I need to do first for a tune up? Since I dont know what type of maintainance life the car has had, Id like to give it a fresh start. What are things I need to look for? This is just going to be a driver, fun street cruiser.
Thanks!
Jason

Agreed^
First start off with a good oil change, new filters, and some good plugs with new wires unless the current ones are good. After that start modding the camaro
Get some 1 7/8s long tube headers and a ORY with a exhaust of your choice, gears, cold air intake such as a Chris1313 or a SLP lid and a tune.

Where are my manners! Here's pics. I trust AC delco, but is there other brands that are better? I've ran Taylor wires on my older hot rods, and they were really good. I changed the fuel filter today. The clutch seems very tight and good. no slipping. There is a steel braded line coming from the clutch slave cylinder looks like, I was told you can bleed the clutch that way?!

Check out MSD wires and NGK TR55 plugs for it, ws6store.com has a great bundle deal on them.

Ok gotcha. Just ordered the MSD & NGK bundle, that was a smokin deal! Ebay wants $150! Thanks for the heads up.
OK, so any particular brand of headers? not the cheapo but not the most expensive...
I'd do an LS6 intake, headers, cam, 4:11 gears, and a tune. What size and brand cam would you suggest for just those mods?

I put bbk headers on my friends 01t/a. They were really easy. Only problem he's had with them is the y pipe that comes with them, his slp loud mouth cat back won't slip over it.
