Cheap Horse Power Suggestions???

I took out my computer, took out the EGR, put a 50,000 volt coil on my HEI distributor, put a 1" spacer under my carb, put a Flowmaster Catback on, and put a TCC lockup kit in my 700r4 tranny....I'm looking for some more cheap horse power I can add to this.

ANY CHEAP SUGGESTIONS would be appreciated?????

Tune your carb, if it is a QJet, by following the Tech Article accessed off the front page. Also, if it is a vacuum advance HEI, put in a Crane recurve kit. That'll get you hoppin' a little better

99600-1.

It allows your ignition advance to come in quicker, giving you much more noticeable throttle response. There is a tech article for it, too.
