Good Eye.

Frost Tune>STB...

...FWIW, I picked up a NOS 32MM swaybar off ebay for next to nothing. Very nice improvement, and cheaper than the STB.

Stb is an appearance mod, nothing more.

My budget formula for my last two Camaros was:

1. Shocks - $400 for a set of Bilsteins. Unlike some mods, you can feel the HUGE difference every mile.

2. Exhaust - $100 to $400. A nice mod that you can feel and hear. Either a full catback or just a muffler it a good thing.

3. Lid - $100. Enough has been mentioned above.

4. Appearance - $200 for a few silly things like inlays, clear corners, etc., just to personalize your car.

I got brand new 1 3/4 LTs ceramic coated, O/R Y and a hooker cb for $899 shipped through speed tweekerz

Used would be cheaper.

If I had to start all over again I would do a stall lid and ram air with a tune. Then everything else...

i would do a lid ($100), a ported t/b ($100), a good flowing catback ($400), and spend the remaining on suspension mods to help gain some traction i.e. a better torque arm and probably a panhard bard and lca's

I would definitely do headers - you can get chrome BBKs with ORY for $369, lid, catback (Magnaflow has a pretty nice tone and is stainless steel, on sale right now at ws6store for $384) and tune.

I'd get some Kooks and a Magnaflow catback, with a custom ORY

i've seen a handful of people run the factory catback,(to keep things quiet), then they just uncap the cutout at the track( wahla, no more exhaust restriction...)

tracking?
GOT IT!
Thanks
