I'm thinking of topics like:
-Static vs. Dynamic compression on the impacts on engine power.
-Horsepower/TQ efficiency to cubic inch
-Deck height for forced induction vs NA applications
Things like this that are debateable topics, yet go into the detailed sciences of performance impacts.

I would highly recommend books by David Vizard (a well know tech editor for many major magazines and technical books). Also you may wish to check out books put out by SA Publications for the topics you listed above. They are not unique to the Camaro and David has written a lot on these topics.

I hate to complain a lot, its just that I am growing a little frusturated with all the incorrect information being passed around, as well as redundancy.

When you have this many members, threads and posts (Threads: 71,485, Posts: 1,807,115, Members: 27,534) you are going to get a myriad of information and input from all types of sources. Many members will try to help others and post as much fact as they know and then add in opinion. This is not a "pay" service so no one is obligated to answer. They do it for the member(s). It is after all a forum. I spend a lot of time using the search feature to find answers because if I look long enough, the answers are usually here somewhere.
This is all just my opinion, but there is a wealth of information here. It does take time to sort through it, but it's worth it.
Good Luck.
