Bought my 99' Camaro (auto) 2 months ago and it's been running beautifully. I absolutely love it and have wanted to make some changes to it. Drastic changes.

I had been perusing google typing in "1999 Camaro 383 stroker kit" and any combination/variation of those words looking for any information about it. But could only find youtube videos and bits and pieces of info.

To be honest, I wanted to know what changes had to be made to my camaro prior to the rebuild. Suspension, brakes, sway bars?...transmission...

I wouldn't want "Gertrude" as I've come to call her getting hurt because of my impatience/ignorance.

I'd still like the car as a daily driver!

Whats your power goal for the car ? Are you looking to stay N/A, forced induction, go gas, ect ???

400-450 to the rear. N/A would be preferable. Just trying to get an idea of how much something like that cost.

Why a 383 build, any particular reason?
You can do 400-450RWHP on stock cubes if you want.
As far as changes, you don't "need" anything. You can search for weak points on here. The stock 10 bolt rear end for example can break with stock power/torque with good traction or wheel hop. The stock auto transmissions are not too strong either. If you are serious about drag racing you may want to look into replacing the stock torque arm as well, as those can certainly break with some power. Nothing else should break at those power levels.
As far as making the power, check out this thread:

For those power goals I would do a higher stall converter, sub frame connectors, heads, cam, intake,and exhaust... Start saving for a rear end.

i would expect about 4500 if u bought everything new and did some work yourself.

you can make 450+ hp/tq with a mild ls383 .check Texas Speed for rotating assemblies .you will need a,HD rear end ,under $2000 used . a rebuilt level 5 tranny $2000+. a good torque arm is $350.

If that's all the power you wanna make don't waste ur money on a stroker ....a 6.0 if anything IMO

I was looking around for a rear end and was curious what would be a good investment if I ever decided going above the listed HP I mentioned?

skimmed some info regaring the moser 12bolt and 9". Not sure what to choose.
Oh, and I've been saving up for the past 10 years for a project that would be worth it, I think the camaro is worth it.

Dont skim things anymore, especially if you are going to drop some big money for something like a rear end. They have their benefits (strength) and downsides (like more unsprung weight = poor handling).
Read up, decide exactly what you want to do with your car (just street, street/strip, just strip, street/handling, just road course car etc etc). These setups can be vastly different (polar opposite really).
