There's a guy on the forum with an engine like yours which switched to the Victor Jr. and some exhaust stuff as I recall. I think he put down like 460 at the wheels. Right now you're probably around 370 or 380 at the wheels.
I'm going to tackle the breathing first. Right now it needs to exhale better. Then the Street Avenger carb is coming off and a good DP is going on. I will leave the dual plane intake in place because it favors low end a little bit more than the Victor does. But first, I need some stickier tires to hook it all up.

Thank God Xmas and birthday are in the next few months. Wallet is empty!
