I am capable of doing a lot of basic mechanical work myself, but my garage is not set up for it very well...especially when it comes to anything that needs to be done from underneath the car.
The car itself is in pristine condition despite having over 80,000 miles on it. It has been stored every winter, so it has never seen salt. I currently have it put away in my garage for the winter season  I don't have a ton of history on the car, so is there anything in particular that I should look for mechanically that could lead to potential problems?
A few other questions/notes: - The exhaust has been upgraded with an axle back Dynomax Ultra Flo system. I haven't been able to get under the car enough to see if anything was done anywhere else in the exhaust system.
- It also has a Roto-Fab CAI
- No oil catch can, so I will add this. Should I go as far as pulling off the intake manifold to inspect/clean since it has gone this long without one?
- If the throttle body has been ported, will this be easy to tell? I'm pretty new to this, so I don't know if I'd know the difference by looking at it, especially with nothing to compare it to.
- Any performance tuning recommendations?
I think that's it at this point. Glad to be a new member of this community. Now, it is going to be a LONG winter waiting to get it back out of storage!

Well welcome to the Camaro family.
That really sucks you just buy it and have to store it for the winter. You'll get use to it. I have a 2011 1ss/rs and have been putting it up for the last 8 years.
