Thanks guys,....
My point was:
I wish all these adds that try to get you to buy a specific "bolt on" item due to claimed (read: EXAGGERATED) HP gains would be more realistic.
In fact I just got a new Comp Cams Duel Energy Cam Kit (.500 lift) , Lifters, push Rods, Springs,..... looking for an Edelbrock Performer Manifold (unless otherwise advised)...... Thought this would be the best rough to work with my stock converter (C4 trans).
I have a 1973 351W with 1970 4v heads and manifold. I read the valves are 185cc intake and 155cc exhaust with a 60cc Combustion Chamber. ....... I was figuring on porting the exhaust and shaving them .10 to get compression up.
It has a vacuum advance distributor w/stock coil. Stock Water Pump.
Road Demon 625 which should easlily handle the upgrades.... It's leaned out as far as it will go now.
I'd like some imput on what else to do to get to my power goal (without taking out a 2nd morgage).
