i have a 1992 25th anniversary edition camaro RS with a 305 V8 TBI. I have K&N air filter, chevy super chip, and custom exhaust pipe. However i am looking to do some more modifications without getting too expensive. I am extremely anxious to get working on my car again and i have run out of ideas, i was thinking maybe MSD ignition for some extra PSI but i am stumped after that, any suggestions for extra performance anc upgrades would be greatly appreciated.
thanks

Welcome to our site! There are some other modifications that are cheaper than the MSD that will get you more power but might require some extra elbow grease.
A performance camshaft would bump up the power some, as long as you kept it mild. Also if you are up to it, some port work on the heads should be worth a few extra HP. Nitrous oxide would also be a quick extra 100 HP.
One other good way to make your car faster is changing gears in the rear end.

well, when you said a custom exhaust pipe, do you have headers with that? if not, you need to get them. thats about the biggest bang for your buck. some other inexpensive things are mabye some underdrive pulleys and a windage tray. though these 2 things don't actually increase horsepower, they save it from being robbed. underdrive pulleys are smaller and turn your pumps and accessories with littler effort. a windage tary in the oil pan will keep the crank counterweights from trying to cut through the thick blizzard of oil. but before i did all of that, invest into a good set of headers. as with anything, bigger is not always better. the whole point of headers is to let exhaust escape from the cylinder with the littlest back pressure as possible. hope this helps!

I forgot to mention headers. They're a good thing to do.
I don't believe in underdrive pulleys though. They can cause all kinds of problems on a street car.
