Thanks for the info guys! I guess I'm really looking to gain more speed HP. It runs kind of fast, but It could use more. I don't really know how much HP my 350 is actually pushing, but I definitely want it to go some what faster, but not too extreme. I don't race it. It is my daily driver.
So then I guess I will stay for now with my SB engine and just build HP off it. I'm really not familiar with what I can actually do to it to build a stronger and faster 350. The only things I know is to bore it over, better pistons, aluminum heads, a 400 or 700 transmission. That's really all I know. Is this some things I can do? Or What else can I add, buy, or modify to my engine? I already have headers with exhaust system, MSD ignition kit with MSD 6AL box, MSD spark plug wires, holly fuel pump, and a holly street avenger 780 double pumper carburetor. thanks, any suggestions and help will be appreciated.
