Beefin' up
time to give the red dragon some more juice, i took the restrictor plate off, so lets keep that on the down low, shes not exactly street legal, haha.
seriously though, i just bought a 600cfm 4 barrel edelbrock carb, performer intake manifold, and performer camshaft kit. how much horsepower do you think it will gain? on my buddies truck it was night and day difference.
69 f100, 360, c6, runs like a champ

I wouldn't even guess on the horsepower increase but the cam and induction improvements will wake your 360 up.The bigggest improvement you can make to any FE engine is exhaust.Headers and free flowing duals will bring any FE to life even an otherwise stock engine.Ignition is another area that can stand upgrades.There are a lot of good aftermarket systems but for a street truck I'd suggest switching over to a Ford Duraspark II system.They provide a lot hotter spark than points and fit into most budgets.Hope this helps.
