Subframe Anyone
Maybe not power related, but seeing as you have a convertible like me, I would defiantly recommend throwing in Subframe connectors for the body rigidity. Our convertibles tend to sag over time, and subframe would help stop that. I've got the BMR pieces (about $200 w/ shipping) and I'd defiantly recommend them. Just a good way to preserve what is a beautiful vehicle.

Yeah funny you mentioned that...my good friend (who owns a couple Z28s himself) told me that convertibles were heavier, and got pissed when i told him i was going to upgrade this one hehe..he wants me to hit the 500rwhp (naturally aspirated) with my 96' but im not messing with the 383 in that thing its already where i want it....but i dont see how convertibles are heavier????

It's all the extra bracing they put in the car.

Man i really like that magic stick cam....damn, so a 3400 Stall with headers lid (maybe cai) + tune would really be a lot better than Headers, Cam, Lid (cai) +tune???? Id really like a vote on the two setups on whitch all you guys prefer

Cats
Well the difference in performance with cats is not that big a loss, no more than 5 hp, especially for a bolt on to mild cam engine. Its probably not worth the risk to not have cats, especially if its a daily driver. You can get performance cats that flow better than stock as well if you'd like.

If they don't hook it up to the sniffer, than you'll be fine.
