What are the options I have?? Hi.I have a 1995 camaro Z28 and I am new to doing mods to it.I have put on a Flowmaster muffler and a high flow cat.. I am wanting to know what I can do to have my car run a decent 1/4 mile time and be able to drive it everyday.I plan to get a hooker cat back exhaust, but was wondering what else I can do with out spending alot of cash because I am going to college right now.Thanks

What kind of NOS should I run wet kit or dry kit. Also I didnt know if a hot cam kit be for what I am wanting.If so would I need to change the lifters because I didnt know if the LT1 came with a roller cam.
Skip the pullies and cutout people keep recommending, with the LT1 waterpump arrangement pullies offer little potential power freed up. A cutout is a bandaid for a poor system like the chokemaster you have, IMO the money would be better spent on a decent muffler like the Hooker catback you are looking at.
Sounds like you are a LONG ways from a cam being a decent idea and at that point the HOT cam is not a particularly good choice. It's popularity is rooted in ignorance more than anything else. The stock lifters can be reused just fine on roller cams.
I will agree with the headers and CAI recommendations, gears and then a stall if an A4 car, gears will require reprogramming and that is a good mod on a basically stock car anyway. This will keep you busy for quite awhile and all is required before a cam, trust me I did a cam before I had the rest of it. The car drove fine but it was still a mistake.

some people like the sound of cutouts at the track not to mention they are basically absolutly free flowing (not necessarily always a good thing with stock motor)

if it runs really hot like lt1s seem to do stock...a low temp thermostat is a good idea IMO.that and a cold air will tame your temps. the throttle body bypass isnt worth much but you can do it for under 10dollars...and it is worth a few hp
