How can I Make my V6 faster?

I been wondering seriously for the past few months how can I soup-up my 95 Camaro? If any one has any tips that you have used over the years that helped your car go faster drop me a line. I'm currently working on a car club that is geared for third and fourth gen. f-bodies. I'm the slowest ***** in the gruop. I'm pissed. Can someone help me out?

Sure, just visit the website in my signature. There's tons of 94-up 4th gen guys on the mailbag there that can hook you up!

[edit] Heh, well, visit the f-body.net link... not the first one.

thanx so far to all that have replied. But I figured that I sould also add that I'm still in high school for a few more few til I graduate. So money is a tight factor even though I Porter cars for $7 an hour. All bills fall on me. So I'm still interested in how 2 make my car faster, but I'm right now looking for the right amount of power for the buck.
-thanx again
