Subject: [Chevelle-list] help, need horsepower

Hi gang, hers the deal..
 
I have a 1971 El Camino 350CID motor in my 64...
it is very, very slow.
 
I have the stock powerglide, and 3.something to 1 rear gears..
 
4 bbl edelbrock 600 carb, power plus aluminum dual plane intake, stock ram horn exhaust manifolds with 2.5" duals with glasspacks.  HEI dist with good 8.8mm wires.
 
What do I need to do to get some power out of this thing.  It is such a dog as is... I have super skinny 13" tires and cant even do a burnout most of the time..
 
I'm not looking for 8 million horsepower, just something a little more respectable than the 110 HP is feels like I have now..
 
do I need to build up the motor some, or would a trans swap to a 200R4 be the way to go?
 
Thank you for any help you can give..
