Default 250+ hp in one mod!

I have posted already, but I thought I might as well make one of these things. I'm 16 (almost 17) and I went from my first car, which was a 98' 200sx, to a 2000 SS. I'm not very mechanically inclined, but I do learn fast. My Camaro SS has a SLP short shifter, Hurst shift ****, and Bassani headers + catted Y. The mods came with my car before I got it. I bought it from some old rich guy who sold it cheap for 9300$ and It has 58k miles on it.

Anyways here is my car and yes I'm trying to sell the wheels. I know they're beyond cheesy.

yeah the guy also threw in some of the original ZR1 5 spoke SS wheels, but the tread is gone. The wheels I want are some black camaro 10 spoke wheels. I really want to see if anyone will trade me their stock 10 spoke wheels for my stock zr1 ss wheels.

That car is so freaking sweet. My plane is to take some of those 10 spokes, and powder coat it flat black. Then I want to get some black projector lights and some black euro taillights.
