RE: HOW CAN I MAKE MINE FASTER
Mmm... You're gonna get smoked... I was looking into the Z28's instead of getting my Mustang... those things are fast. It'll take a lot to keep up with him, and unless you got a lot of spare cash it's not gonna happen. Pretty much... I don't even know if full bolt-on's will get you anywhere near a stock Z28. 
Just to give you an idea, our cars have the 3.8's in em pushing about 190HP at the crank... the Camaro V8's on the other hand are 5.7L LT1's (same engine that was ran in Corvettes) that push 275HP at the crank, and that's said to be underrated... Good luck!

Seems none of the new guys like stickies...
This link lists common modifications people do to our sixers, well compiled list.
This link is a list of what different people have done to their cars and what they liked and didn't like. I've got mine listed in there too.
Typical starter mod is a CAI (Cold Air Intake), Autobadges has some good prices on CAI's, or you can always go with a decent eBay CAI.

Gears, tlok, WEIGHT REDUCTION, exhaust, and nitrous with a good tune.....and maybe, just maybe you'll have a chance. But on the other hand, the nitrous alone is gonna cost an arm and a leg to do right. Add in exhaust, gears, tlok, and installation.....you might as well skip all those and get a supercharger. There's apost on the Pipes, Boost, Juice section where a guy pieced together a kit for under 2k, and although it's for a V8....you can go to Vortech's site, download their installation manual for the V6, and use the part numbers to check that site the guy mentions in his post to piece together a kit for your car. I did and I think it came out to be roughly the same as his totals. Might wanna think about that.....

RE: HOW CAN I MAKE MINE FASTER
Come on guys, you make it sound impossible, all he needs is a 6-8 psi supercharger, 3.73 gears, a limited slip differential, exhaust, and a tune to make everything run properly and he'll be spanking that *** all day.
