For the OP once down the road and a few events under your belt with the car you may encounter a few minor issues that need addressed. I only change items when problems present themselves.
1. I went with Castrol SRF because the stock fluid is not track worthy. I also did brake lines at the same time because I much prefer a stiff pedal.
2. I did the GM track alignment
3. I added the Base Camaro brake cooling package (rotor shield and extended scoop). I also added C7 Z06 vented pistons for my brake calipers. This was because I am in the ~10% who track, brake aggressively, and happen to run at a track with minimal brake cooling sections (minimal fast and long straights). I boiled SRF at Carolina Motorsports Park with 1/2 thickness pads. I have run down to almost the backing plate at VIR no issues. So I had a problem that I didn't want to repeat and fixed it. Went back to CMP and drove overly hard on the brakes, no issues. Note: Most 1LEs don't experience this, its a rarity, as its mostly dependent on where you run.
4. I changed the alignment from GM Performance alignment to -2.6/2.7 F (Zero Toe) and -1.6 R (+.1 total toe). This evened out front tire wear and length of service. Trying to maximize consumable lifespan.
5. I have SPL toe rods as the rear toe can "walk" as the torque to yield bolt can slip due to design. It will cause bad tire wear and handling changes.
Otherwise stock. I plan on a few other minor things. But mostly spending $$$ on track time and consumables. Stock tires and brake pads are the cheapest as far as I know. I purchase tires/pads when on sale. Tire Rack for tires (check used locally and internet as you would be surprised what you can find) and Amazon for pads.
