400 mods
i have built a 400 out of a 351m and i have some more money i want to put into it and i need to know what would be the best thing for it next. i bored and stroked the 351m to be a 410. It has an edelbrock performer manifold w/ a 750 holley carb. also comp cams 268 cam. i am getting heddman elite headers for sure so what would be the next thing to do to get more power for a decent price? im thinking either ignition or roller timing chain. suggestions on what to do and companies to get it from will be appreciated.

The ignition is OK, but while you have it apart you should do the internals, like double roller timing chain (Cloyes is one). Another is roller rockers like Scorpion. You can run the stock ignition until you can upgrade.

Neither ignition nor the timing chain will give you more power. (Not that both aren't worthwhile for other reasons.)
Which pistons do you have? Higher compression will allow you to get a lot more from the induction/exhaust mods.
If you've done everything else already, how about porting the heads?
