New Third Gen Owner

Hey guyz I'm new 2 this site and also a new third gen owner. I just bought a 1986 Camaro for $700.00 the body is great but the engine was knocking. So I got a new motor, actually it was a 1989 firebird 2.8L V6. The car runs great now. But I was wondering if you guyz could help me out with a mod. My car is MPFI so it has the two air filters. I was wondering how you can mod these types of air boxes for more air flow. Also once I get more air im gonna need more fuel. So I was wondering how you can mod the fuel pressure regulator 2 get more fuel. Any help would be appreciated. If these topics have already been discussed could you send me 2 a link or point me in the right derection.....thanxs alot

Welcome to the board. Could you use Tomp's patented dryer hose method and a conical filter insted of the stock airboxes?
