engine enhancment

i currently have a 305 chevy small block in my 1980 camaro is there anyway to increase the power a good amount without having to do an engine swap, or removing the engine at all?

Nitrous is about the only way you'll make good power without tearing into the engine. Almost everything on the block would have to be replaced. Heads, cam, exaust manifolds, intake, carb are all crappy.

it all depends how much power you wanna make. a cam, manifold and nice carb and headers and exaust will wake it up and make a decent street car. But if you got the money go with the 350 more power to be had
