Do airfilter and exhaust, you prolly won't be able to afford exhaust with $200.....

honestly if you don't have a few grand to throw at your camaro you won't be breakin 13's without nitrous

afpr = adjustable fuel pressure regulator
More pressure gives more power ONLY if it needs it
cai = ????
port the plenum = grind out the big box on top of the engine so that more air flows through it.

The Power Adder board talks about things like Superchargers, Turbochargers, Nitrous, Alcohol, and things like that.
