I have been looking at a newer model camaro, since they are cheap. I was wondering what some good mods would be for cheap to get some good power out of it.
Pretty sure it is an LT1, yeah I figured supercharger :P... Not really looking to spend more than $1000, as I want to keep a good $300 or so saved up and keep it as a backup incase something breaks down. I want a supercharger, but the damn thing costs twice as much as the car. Is it really worth it for one? I will save up if it is worth it. I was raised around cars, but I never got into the heavy mods and such.
Also, I really don't want to lose much on gas mileage either

You can't do that much for $1000. I would recommend starting with a good set of longtube headers and exhaust, since any other mods will require headers for maximum performance.
...... but I also want to get a good feel for the car instead of instantly slapping on 100-200 hp..
Better to start small instead of kill myself in my first car.
VERY GOOD idea!! Along with my 'Vette, I also have a '96 Z-28. Even stock, they fast enough to get you in big trouble in a hurry. In fact, you may want to consider some handling and/or braking maintenance/upgrades first.
Ok thanks, really looking at some good rims and tires for first. Then any money left over could go to some headers.
No, I didn't go to consol, heard there were alot of fights though. I really grew up in Anderson, which is a few miles away, but I damn near spent every day in the mall at College Station.
For an LT1 for $1000? Hooker catback ($300), MAC shorty headers+ypipe ($300), 1.6:1 crane roller rockers ($200), Some sort of CAI (~$200), and try to squeeze in a pcmforless/madcatz mailorder tune for the increased valve lift (~$100-150). If you want to make your budget $1500 instead of $1000, spring for longtubes if you can, but also try and squeeze in a nice cam and valvesprings before the tune
EPP: 190rwhp stock from a formula? That seems unusually low?

This is some good advice. Although if it is an A4, I might be inclined to go with 3000ish stall/shift-kit/cooler and spend whatever is left on a CAI.
