Question Need more power

How would I get a little bit more power for my 88' F-150 4x4 with a 351 cleveland? It just doesn't seem to have enough umph.

did you swap the cleveland in? otherwise its a winsdor. the truck origionally had a winsdor in it. while i agree with heads cam exhaust i dont' agree with throttle body spacers. do a search around here and you will find that they seem to be a bunch of bull. i have yet to hear anything good about one. and i don't agree with getting rid of the smog equipment. its there for a reason and you don't have to remove it to gain performance, more than likely its gonna cause more hassles then it would be worth. gl and have fun!
