This is a starting page for everything related to modifying your F-body. It is divided up into sections for each generation, and from there into type of modificaiton (performance, safety, appearance, etc). Note that Engine Modification is covered in a different section.
To get started, choose the generation you are interested in modifying:

General Modification
Engine
When modifying an engine, it's best to think of the entire engine as an air pump. Air is sucked in, and exhaust is pumped out. The more air your engine can suck in and pump out, the better. Practically every engine modification you make will fall under one of the following:
- increasing the amount of air being pumped through
- preventing the engine from damaging itself while pumping so much air
