Question Modifications to a 1989 Camaro V8.

Its got all stock parts in the engine. Only thing non-stock is the Trans. Its a B/M Short Shifter(thinking about replacing that too...).

I want to upgrade my camaro with some good performance parts to enhance speed, acc., steering, and BRAKE TIME. Brakes on my camy arent too good.

I need to know what i should get. Here is the list of things i wanna do.

[Remember, everything is stock.]
(what do i need to get, and what would be best?)

Replace the entire intake.
Replace fuel injection.
Upgrade suspension (this is stock as well. I dont want to lower or nething, just make my ride.. lessbumpy.)
Upgrade brakes (wat should i get for this?)
Install Turbo Charger or SuperCharger (Which would be better, Turbo or Super?)

Is there anything else i can do, and buy, to improve Horsepower, Torque, and Acceleration???

Im sorta new to all this, so if you can help, ill be very gratefull!

Re: Modifications to a 1989 Camaro V8.

Replace the intake system with a modified LT1 intake.
Custom tune
PST poly-graphite front-end kit
PST solid panhard rod, LCA's and rear sway bar bushings.
Subframe connectors
Turbo charger is better for more power.
For the brakes, replace the stock rubber hoses with Earl's braided steel hoses (NOT Russell). Then replace all rotors and pads and remove the fluid from the brake reservoir and replace it with new. Next bleed all of the brakes (starting with the one furthest from the mastercylinder and ending with the one closest) until all of the brakes have nice clean fluid coming out of them.
That should solve your brake problems.

Still need to know about Suspension and Injection. Wat sorta Turbo charger should i get. Not too expensive under $1k. Just for streetracing and stuff like that.

A turbo or even supercharger under 1k isn't going to happen. They are all over 3k and some closer to 5k.
The PST parts are suspension parts. PST is "Performance Suspension Technology" http://www.p-s-t.com/gm/gmcatalog.html
The LT1 modified intake is for the injection system.http://www.lt1intake.com/services.htm

What other "stuff" would that be, running from the cops after hitting a pedestrian STREET RACING??? Take it to a RACE TRACK if you want to RACE.
