lookin for some cheap speed

got a '92 305 tbi. already got 2.5" flowmasters on it, computer chip and other than that stock
if there's any way to get more power in it without having to pull out and take apart the engine because it's a daily driver.
i don't think there is any magic device that could do it easily but maybe i'm missing something please share
p.s. i'm only 16 and my dad wont want some turbo on it so basically it has to be safe. so that leaves few options that i know of
only have like $1k

get the open element filter, some advanced timing, the tech articles really tell you alot. or you can do a TPI swap which im sure your dad would like.

i would say drive off a cliff if you want speed and excitement, but terminal velocity isn't that fast anyways. the cheapest way to go faster realisitcally is to throw a nitrous setup onto it, but chances are if you go to wild with it you'll blow your motor. if it's a daily driver and you're only 16 you don't need much more speed than you already have it sounds good and prebably looks decent. just save the money for gas or keep saving until you can throw a turbo or sc on it. but it's your car and the main idea is to have fun with it.

ok im not recommending this by any means but im only 17 and my dad doesnt allow pretty much anything other than an exhaust on my car. lately i just ordered a nitrous tbi kit and finally persuaded him to let me throw it on and finally he made a deal with me that i can but if i blow the motor the car is his so i put my kit yesterday have yet to try it but im stayin low on the shot and playing carefully with it but he has no faith even though itll now smoke his 350 tpi IROC
