Default help, camaro is messed up

Today my car threw a blinking SES code that then came on solid. I took it to autozone. It was throwing three codes. One was multiple misfires detected. The next one was something about air recirculation he said probably that the EGR was was messed up. The last one was about the catalytic converter being messed up. Anyway, what do i need to do to fix this problem and how much would you think it would cost. Also what could have caused this? Here is a list of my mods
Asp Crank Pulley (i just recently put on)
slp air lid
bored out MAF sensor
air temp module
free ram air
cut out
Mcleod Street twin clutch assembly
throttle body bump stop mod
fernco mod
hypertech thermostat

Did you have them clear the codes to see if they would come back?

Do you know what code you threw for the cats being bad? You may just have a bad rear O2. The rear O2s are there to make sure you cats are working. If your cats are bad your rear O2s will set a code, but the O2 itself may just be bad. What year is your car? You may not even have a EGR valve. Try posting this in the computer diagnostics section you will get beter help there. It would also be helpful to have the codes. The air recirculation code could be EGR or maybe your EVAP system. Make sure your gas cap is on tight. It`s hard to say without the codes.
