GT40 Upper and lower intakes $250-450
GT40P (300-600) Heads or GT40X (600-1200 (these are alum))
Some nice headers
MSD Coil, Cap, Rotor, and box and you have you self a 300HP 350+ ft/lbs of torque 302 if tuned and running correctly.

Have you checked the timing? If it;s even a few degrees retarded it will drastically decrease the performance. IT should be at 10 degrees btdc, with the spout connector unplugged.
