if its an HO 305 it'll have around 190 HP and about 250 ft/lbs tq...minus 40 HP if its a run of the mill LG4. First thing you should do is a tune it up with some good parts...you'll be surprised how much difference it can make. then you can move on to exhaust and intakes and so forth........
I would say Cat-back Flowmasters (dual tips), ya already got K&Ns, umm then put custom ram air on it (do it yourself its more fun that way). Maybe gears. Wait, I got one, get a bigger engine.
Theres tons of mods out there, you got time? you got money? Then mod it on up with whatever is your pleasure. Yeah get a tune up. The mods I mentioned are on my car too, not the gears tho.
---Thats what I want to do tho, get an old Camaro like 83-86, and mod it to hell, make it as illegal as possible, that would be awesome.

Thanks alot guys, but I already know all of that, I was mostly worried about how much HP my car has.
once again i will give you guys in full detail what my car has.
a 1984 305 "4 bbl carb hp" Camaro, it has a new edelbrock 4bbl carb on it.
it has an open element K&N filter, with the wierd K&N filter top on it.
I went to Don's Hot Rod and one of thier associates told me that with the description I gave, he figured my camaro has between 200-220 hp. is this an accurate guess, i know the 350 TPI has 240 hp so i figured it was a good guess.
someone shed some light on my ssituation.

Is your car CC. If so then you need to get a non CC distributor as well.

If your car is computer controlled and you put a NON CC carb on their, then you need to switch to a vacuum advance distributor.
