Start reading back through the topics on this Forum and you will find the same question asked and answered ad infinitum with the results being pretty much the same...not much one can do short of a computer friendly cam like a Crane 503901, Isky Mile-a-More, or Isky 256 Super Cam and a MegaSquirt controller system.

The Cats might be plugged...happens over time. Three-way, high flow replacements are available.

Off the line, this would be great. After you shifted into top gear at 45 mph it would be trouble. Depending on your tires, of course.
Good for towing a house off the foundation, maybe a bit short for highway work.....
ymmv.

Ive been in a few low geared v8s. SB chevys, windsors, and FEs. all these engines can spin 6k before a 300 can hit 2k. I just think thats a lot of gear to drag through. Id say a 4.11 or 3.89 would balance a little nicer for a working gear. If I had a set of 4.56 gears and a 300 inline......I think I could tow the titanic.

When I had near-OE size tires on my rig with 4.11, I was the fastest thing in the world to 30 mph. The 300's power is in the low end, so you have to use that. You won't win any races with it, so impress people by doing what the 300 does best - coming off the line while towing 11,000 lbs.
Again I say 4.56 gear ratio with 2.25 straight thru full length exhaust.

Kind of funny working a pickup to death, all the while the custom exhaust giving away the fact it's a six. Hey, Ford builds'em right.
I think 300's should be left to work and daily driving. If you're wanting some more power out of it, then gear it low and open up the exhaust a bit. You'll never pull a whole heck of a lot of power out of a 300 without some cash. 300's come out of the box with good power. Just be happy with it.
