What can I do to gain some additional horsepower?
Sadly I only have $400 to spend for now.
Or would you recommend gettin somethin for the suspension? Which I would be happy with, too, but what can I get for $400? (not much I know)
electric water pump?
save a little more and get hotchkis sway bars?

or...
should i get a upgrade the sound system :) That's what I think i'll do. comments?
 
LOL@the response saying there was no 305 in a 92 Camaro....'tard.

You're not going to do much to the 5.0 you have in the Camaro...it's a base Camaro right? That means you have a LO3(5.0 TBI). Also the 305 TPI's did NOT run better than the 350 TPI motors...another comical response....where do some of you guys come up with this rubbish? Also, a chip isn't giving you 40hp....especially on that motor.

Anyway, as I was saying, $400 won't net you a ton of horsepower on that motor....you'd be better of with suspension. A good set of shocks/struts, a good set of rear lower control arms and a set of weld in sub-frame connectors(a MUST for any Camaro/Firebird) will go further than dumping that money into an inferior motor.

The 305 (5.0) is an OK engine but they don't like too many hop ups a major tune upand. the exhaust would be the first things , a mild roller cam may help (the 305 can be overcamed very easily)

about $4500 to start with then we can start talking

save your money for the tickets that are coming your way
