You dont have an option for a Stall but that would get my vote. An Automatic isn't **** without one IMO and DO NOT get the cam and rockers until you got one trust me, I ran the 503 on the stock stall for a while and it blew and the car was a total waste to drive. Out of what you have listed I'd vote for lowering it with the CAI and Magnaflow a close second.

Yes, unless you like hitting your bumpstops often. I'd hit up sam strano in the suspension section.

I voted for the cam aswell, with some new 1.6 rockers. Could have the heads ported aswell.

Ported heads and a cam dont work to well with an automatic with the stock stall converter, stock gears, and stock air intake. When that stuff is done heads/cam all the way

performance wise- K&N, what good is a cam if the engine can't breathe appropriately?
appearance- Lower it, seems like its sittin kinda high in the ****.

I voted for shocks and springs to lower her a little bit. Also, just wondering why you call it the "Magnaflow SS" exhaust and just so you know you have chrome SS ten spokes not 2000 Z28 wheels. It is def a nice looking Z. Got to love black Camaros.

Yeah I know but I went for the headers right away lol probably not the best route now I have to make ground up for that mistake.

Hopefully should have my SFCS done this weekend along with STB that my bro bought for me. Next should be springs & shocks with CAI. Once I have that as a good base than I think I'll move onto gears which would be 373's does this sound like a good plan?

^^Sounds like a good plan to me. I would maybe do a stall instead of gears or else keep that in mind to do after those mods. You wont believe the difference one will make for an automatic.

Well found out that I am going out to Friend this friday/sat to do SFCS and STB than I am getting a CAI for graduation present (from highschool) then onto spring & shocks for my summer goal along with 373's if I can squeeze it in on my budget. Would it mess up my eventual stall if i went with 373's. All work will be done by me and by our family friend Dale.

Id do them in this order

CAI
Springs (keep your shocks unless they are bad)
3.73

Before I did anything to the motor...do not buy SFC...your stock suspension should be fine right now...I dont even have SFCs. Do exhaust and a stall before you do a cam...will get more power out of it.

Nice car man.

first of all, GO HUSKERS!!! nice to see another Nebraskan on the board...u can do intake and magnaflow for pretty cheap (thats what i have on my '95). but if u feel like doin a appearance mod, then a strano springs setup is the way to go. oh, how much did ya have to strech the 245's to fit them on ur rims?!? those normally have 275's.
