Honestly- I'd save some more $ and then buy a better engine.

Some engines respond better to hp improvements and the 4.9 isnt' exactly known for it's power output. Besides, the aftermarket is not flooded with 4.9 parts.

The dash pic looks like it's a clean car. you could shelf your original engine , store it and reinstall it at a future date if you wish. (if keeping it original is your thing)

If you can deal with it, throw a chevy 350 engine in there. there's enough second generation camaros out there so the parts interchangability or swapping it over isn't an issue. I say the chevy because of cost. Chevy's are cheap and abundant. If you can find a good deal on a pontiac 400 ,then scoop it up.

If your'e not that serious about power adding and want to leave the car alone, then add a good free flowing dual exhaust. It'll sound better nad may free up a couple of ponies.

the cheapest thing you could do and get noticable power is get a timing recurve kit. they probably cost 5 dollars, and you can actually notice some power with this.
