Default 1986 Camaro 2.8

Hey everyone im new to this forum. I got a 1986 Camaro 2.8 automatic, I belive it is rated at only 135 horsepower, but it definatly still had a lot of torque, I currently put duel exhaust on it with the 2 nice Boom Tube Tips. I would like to get it up to some more horsepower after a few things I would not mind to range around 200HP if someone could help me out and let me knew a few things i could do it my car that wont be to expensive to get the horsepower up a bit. Thanks

i have an 85 2.8, everybody has suggested just swapin to the 3.4.

there are some other posts i made earlier asking similar question you might be interested in.

did u replace the whole exhaust or just the mufflers? or what?
if u only did the mufflers id suggest getting new pipes (2.5" instead of 2.25") from the Y back and a high flow cat.
a cold air intake would also free up some horses.

not a lot of cheap ways to get horsepower for the 2.8 that i know of
