There's always porting the items that you have, or the new ones that you get for more hp. What are you looking to do with this car???

You want 400 hp at the flywheel or at the rear wheels?

i would personaly leave it alone u already have a hot car keep it stock so the cars resale value stays high if u want to sell it.

75 extra hp isnt to hard to do but not including the firehawk and ZL1 u have one of the fastest all motor f body ever made

Not to be a stickler for correct information, but in 1998, there were no firehawks. Only six were produced in Troy, MI as demos for the 99 Hawks. Also, Both the high end Camaro SS's and Firehawks can be ordered with the same hp/torque ratings. There are several exhaust/intake packages that achieve this, but one is not more powerful than the other. The only LS1 engine that was rated higher was the Corvette's engine, go figure...
