Depends. If you drag race I would do minor weight reduction ($free) and throw some drag radials on the bitch lol. Easy 11 second car.

Here's the real question, are you trying to keep your warranty lol you could pickup flex fuel sensor from Wildhammer for $225 then get a reputable tuner to either remote tune the car or take it to a shop or performance wise you could get an MBRP catback exhaust and just get Hp tuners and tune out the AFM

Sway Bars (GM 1LE kit upgrade doesn't void warranty)
Ported Throttle Body (hard to detect modification for general claims, but would be caught in a blown motor claim)

That was a good question posed above regarding warranty - if you don't care, you have many more options. Within the limited space, these will have the most bang for the buck.

Pray ported tb, and intake. I'd cut the stock box and put in a green filter or I'd look for front cat deletes move the O2s to behind the second set of cats...

If it’s hp you are looking for E85 tune and sensor no contest. Regardless of price it’s the biggest NA gain one will get on these cars at the bolt on level. And tuning the transmission shows big gains in itself. Even if you don’t have E85 available the tune is the best speed gains of any bolt on as the trans tuning is huge

If the b2b warranty is out on your 2016, then do the above and switch to E85. I'm sure it's not popular in oil field Texas, but it will be the biggest feel for such a low investment.

There are shops that sell E85 kits for a couple hundred. You'll need an HP Tuners cable and some credits (luckily, you have a 2016, you don't need extras for TCM tuning). The rest goes to getting a reputable Camaro tuner to sell you a canned E85/TCM tune (possibly with bolt-on upgrade support) for a few hundred and then a local HP Tuner show that wants to make 100$ (haggle, might do it for 50$ if you show up with cable, tune and cash right before lunch) to flash said tune for you. Compared to buying the whole suite, you can pay a local shop to flash 5-10 times for you on your own cable before you catch up to the cost of the standard suite. If you're not heavy into changing things up all the time, you're unlikely to reflash that many times.
