Cheap ways to add hp

I have a 305 fuel injection that needs some more power. Anybody have any suggestions? Planning on putting a cold air intake on. I need to make the tubing though because it sucks he air in from the top of throttle body. Anyone know how to do that too? Thanks for you help in advance!

nitrous oxcide is the cheapest hp to $$ ratio. i highly doubt a cold air intake will make a very noticable difference.

You're in the wrong forum. This "power adder" forum is for nitrous, superchargers, and turbochargers, as it says in the description.

You need to check out either the TPI or TBI forum, depending on which engine you have.
