Let the mods begin!

Hi!!! I've owned my Camry since 1995, it's a 95 (duh!) XLE V6 with the 1MZ-FE 3.0L engine and auto tranny. Well... in the last few months i've noticed some lack of power, it's not a problem, just my foot got a bit heavier . I wanna know if:
1 - Can I use an CAI from AEM (i think that's the brand) for a 1996 Camry?
2 - Can I use the TRD S/C for the Gen4 Camry? I've read a lot of it, but I still couldn't find anyone who did it and the car remained totally funcional (someone did and couldn't use the air conditioner, and I need mine, 'cause where I live is VERY hot)
3 - Can I fit 235/40R17 tires under my Camry? I have no suspension modifications
4 - Right now I'm running without my catalytic (sp?) converter and without 1 of the two mufflers (the one right behind the cat). Will the TRD muffler give me any performance gain, they claim +3hp, and also some pics of it would be nice, since I can't see the ones on TRD site.

Thanks for helping me, and sorry if I asked too much.

im a four banger man myself but i thikn i can help..(maybe some)

1.Yes, since Gen 3 is 92-96 and any changes affected 95-96 so it should be ok
2.As far as i know the supercharger should fit the v6 3.0L engine i believe (1MZFE)
3.m not good with the width thing but height for sure will fit, i have a gen 3 with 225-40/R18s just to give you an idea
4.Yeh there prob will be some gain the only prob is 3hp gain is hard to feel , though you may feel a difference in shift patterns, Exhaust is a good start just know allot of it at the begining stages is looks and sound
( i have an APex N1 so i dont have any pics)

Hope this can help you out or atleast give you some direction...
lemme know if you need more info or help

2. You'd have to swap in a 1997-2001 1MZ-FE to remain fully functional after the s/c i think (swapping should be simple)

Thanks a lot Mosill and Warped! Btw Warped, a swap isnt in my plans, my Camry may be a 95 but it only has 56000 km, if SC'ing it means that maybe I'll have to swap into a new engine I'll forget about it. Anyway thanks a lot you two.
