Well, if you're gonna go with a stealth cam.... Trust me anyone that knows anything about cars will hear the lope of a cam.

I'd say either an intake or ASP Pulley.

I'd go with a set of LT headers.

Without headers you aren't going to get a whole lot of power out of a cam or anything. I'd get some headers and maybe some type of quiet muffler on your caprice, then think about a cam. Or just spray it.

Better air induction (filter, ported TB), HP tuner for tuning, Stealth 1 or II from MTI, I have stealth II and it idles like stock. as long as you have the stock muffler, you'll stay quiet.

I know the Caprice, my father has one. Is it the Comodore? or Advantra? In Aussie Land. If so, HP Tuners make software for PCM editing.

I think Caprice is a COMODORE in Australia. If so they have a HP Tuner for it.
