Ok, thanks guys. I look forward to learning alot here. I should be finished with the "spring cleaning" tune-up soon. My radiator has a small hole in it, so I am ordering a aftermarket one. Also my exhaust has a small leak in it too. The other owner welded a Dynomax muffler in place of the stock one and it leaks at the welds. I want to replace it with a Terry Houston Catback. While I'm in there, I might get the Down Pipe as well. With those two things fixed, it should pass Inspection easy and be on the road. 
just wondering what radiator you ordered? If you want to save some money, weight and get better cooling you could get the one I just ordered on friday, go to autozone.com and look up radiators for a 1988 Camaro RS 305, pick plastic and aluminum and that radiator will fit the GN, and it costs a measly $117 and not to mention a lifetime warranty and it knocks 20lbs off the front of the car.
Im glad to see your following the tune up procedure.
Get the fuel pump and hotwire first of everything, then adjustable fuel pressure regulator, and adjustable wastegate or bleeder valve(would that work on a non adjustable wastegate?) maybe if you want to get it out of the way the quick spool item that is sold in parts for sale
Definitely get a chip but not after you got some gauges especially a boost gauge(which I have for sale by the way) this way you know where your boost is at WOT
One of my first mods after all that stuff was the terry houston downpipe and test pipe, it made a very noticeable difference
also I know your going for a new exhaust system, might I suggest the ATR single shot stainless, I had the hooker at first but I started realizing that its fairly heavy, so I went with the single shot and I wish I had bought the single shot first, if you can stand a loud exhaust its probably a better investment, it weighs less, easy to install, stainless so no rusting.
If you got the smc alky kit Im pretty sure your car would be a solid 12s car as long as you can get it tuned and with a good chip
Tires did you think of these? maybe some drag radials, our cars are good for hooking off the line so this will make a huge difference.
what are your goals with this car? is it street driven or just for track or what? you will find rediculous knowledge here and try here
www.gnttype.org the people here are the most intelligent people I have ever come across and they know everything about the car atleast 5-10 people have had the same problems so dont be shy on asking questions
by the way if you need more info to get started or the websites to get the stuff at send me a private message
by the way how old are you? Im 20
later man and good luck
Carl
