$9k for a 2002 SS 35th Anniversary Edition with 90k miles! So what sets apart the SS from the Z28?
What does the 35th Anniversary Edition add?
This will be my DD for 5 years, so I want to slightly mod it, tune it, but mostly focus on keeping it dependable.

Lets see. SS is the same apart from minor suspension differences, hood, spoiler, and wheels. 35th Anniversary adds the racing stripes and badges on the dash, seats, and floor mats. Other than that, not much I don't believe. What gives you the number of 5 years? And use the search to find the best, basic mods to start off with. The VAST majority of the cars here have from basic DD mods to track only. Using the search will find you just about any and everything you can possibly want to find.

Base SS package consists of a functional air induction hood, specific rear spoiler, specific badging, "low restriction" muffler with 0.25" larger tail pipes than a base V8, 32mm front sway bar, 17x9 wheels with 275/40 tires, and standard power steering cooler.
There were additional SS options available from SLP under the Y2Y RPO, such as upgraded suspension, upgraded exhaust (dual/dual, 330/335hp package) with an optional rear valance (CME = center mount exhaust), upgraded air induction lid (Blackwing, 345hp package), synthetic fluid package, differential upgrade, optional chrome wheels (ZR1/10-spoke), tire upgrade, grille, dash plaque, key fobs, floor/deck mats, car cover, etc. Not all options were available for all model years.
The 35th LE package was a cosmetic add-on to the base SS (WU8) package and could be had with or without additional Y2Y options listed above, same as a base SS.
A base SS might make ~2hp more than a base Z28 of the same model year, thanks to the slightly better muffler. The only way that an SS would be measureably faster than a Z28 of the same year would be if the SS was optioned with the dual/dual exhaust (330/335hp package, depending on model year) or dual/dual + Blackwing lid combo (345hp package), as these items are directly comparable to the power gains of any other lid/catback on the market.

There is a supplemental option sticker on the door jamb that would have originally listed these options, but many of those have worn off or become unreadable at this point. You can contact SLP and give them the VIN number for further details on a specific car. Contact info for SLP is located in the Special Edition Vehicles section of the site.

Previous owner installed Kooks longtube headers... But it looks like it's running through the stock cat and muffler. Wouldn't the stock catback email restrictive and make the headers obsolete?

It needs a tune, exhaust smells like gas and I know its capable of moving more air than stock.
So what do I do?
>>PCM reflash ($150
>>Handheld tuners ($300)
>>Dyno tune ($500+)
What is the "best" way? What is the most cost effective?
I wish I could just unplug the battery....

I've spent 30 years in the car biz buying and selling cars wholesale and retail. I know what cars are worth. People talk about KBB value for their trade ins. KBB will not write a check for that amount. KBB is a fantasy phuchin island book. Car dealers love people who come in talking about KBB. Hate to rain on your picnic but the real world is not on phantasy island. FYI there is no such thing as excellent. Especially when its 12 years old with 90k miles. This is 10 miles past funny to say the least. Its a free country if you want to pay too much go for it.

I do recall some of the SLP literature listing 327hp for the dual/dual catback cars in '99, but I also recall seeing 330hp listed in certain later publications - same as the '00 dual/dual cars.
There are definitely excellent condition ~12 year old cars (excellent is a step below "mint/flawless"). I've spent enough time in the car show circuit to know this to be fact. However, I agree with you 100% that no unrestored 90k mile car would ever truly qualify for excellent (#2) condition.
