In the old days you could get good results a few bolt ons. Now that won't give you much of anything. Don't fall for the ploy of cold air intakes - they are useless in modern cars. Other than for sound.

An SSTC will go from 240whp240tq to 300whp320tq just a $300 e-mail tune on 94 octane. Add a $300 intake and a $300 downpipe and you're under $1000 for around 320whp 340tq on 94 100% reliable DD. Add more if you have E available. 80whp 100wtq gain over stock for $1000 and 2hrs setup time(mostly DP)
I'm sure the 4cyl in the Camaro responds better then the SSTC and bolt ons should be reasonably priced. I'm guessing 400whp on 94octane range for $3000-3500. Turbo/Intake/Downpipe/Tune. Not sure if it'll need an $800-1000 intercooler kit upgrade or if stock will suffice...
