350 Rebuild, maybe some more power?

How's it going guys? I haven't been on in too long, but about two months ago I finished rebuilding my 350. Blew the 305 in the RS up and found a good excuse to build a better more powerful 350. Car drives so sweetly now and sounds near perfect. I have a small upgraded cam which honestly made a big difference. Everything within the engine rebuild is brand new, I'm just really looking for what can i do to get a little more power? The rest of the car is stock besides the exhaust. She dyno'd at 331 HP which was pretty surprises from 170 HP lol!!!!

I was think maybe high flow cat and new air flow system. Any other ideas and product links? Thanks guys.

And here are pics of the car now and the new engine ( Without the chrome valve covers, too damn cold to go put my new ones on.) The block is painted black too BTW.

Re: 350 Rebuild, maybe some more power?

I would be happy with 331HP as I am also going from a 305 to a 350. Would be interested to know what parts you have put into yours. This will be my first engine build so I don't know much, especially about cams.
