Default Wait or not?

Hey guys, I just bought my second F-Body 95 Formula that has just a k&n and a granatelli mass air flow sensor and thats it.

I say mod it. I may look into getting a new Camaro but it wont be the first production year or maybe even the second. So that will still be a while away.

Sell your LT1 car and get a 98+ Formula, do a cut-out and a lid, then save for a 5th gen.

mod the formy. I am very weary about buying things the first couple of years they come out. think about it. 2004 GTO's, and what they are now, pretty big difference, and now chevy is putting a new motor in the standard corvettes...never know what they might change with the Camaro in the first couple of years....
