Quickest way to get more hp no Nos

I've got a bone stock 91 Camaro 305 5 speed. All I want is 200 hp vs. 170 stock. What is quickest and cheapest way to get it. Please be specific ie. company name, web address, part #, and cost, I don't want nos I want constant power. 305 is temp. until I drop in 350 just want more power till I get enough money for 350.

Try putting in a set of 3.73's gears it will feel like additional power.Gutted cat wouldn't hurt anything.

I'm right on this question too. I have a 1989 Camaro 305v8 automatic I just boguht. The orginal owner put dual exhuast on it, so I'm not sure what type it is, he said they rebuilt it from the engine back. I'd like to do some sort of performance upgrade to add alittle more HP to the car, but I am not looking for somethign where I have to rebuild alot of stuff. Around 800 dollars would be good, 1000 would be alright. ANy suggestions?

If nitrous, supercharging or turbo charging are out of the question then the power-adder game is out.
