Default What else for more power????

I am trying to get all I can out of my h/c package. I'm not talking about nitrous or any other power adders yet just. So pretty much where I sit I realize I need a better breathing intake. I was going to go with a 58mm TB(BBK? Holley worth the $$?) and what do you guys suggest as far as getting the most HP? ported intake or matched or w/e? I'm not sure.

port intake w/ 58 MM... if you have the money get the Holley or ASM. Get some Whe you get your H/C package make sure you change springs, lifters, pushrods . Get a custom tune

noob question, but what part of the intake exactly is ported that I'd be buying? Like after the TB and MAF?

who did the heads?? If Lloyd or AI did them, they could do your intake as well..They port the front of your intake, where the TB bolts on to, since its going to be a 58mm TB. The intake is big enought for a 52mm TB, so you'll have to hog those two holes out for the 58..They also port out the ports on each side of the intake, that line up with ports on your heads..All that will help in performance, along with your tune.

Just a thought, but what about bigger fuel lines and a regulator? Just an idea though.

Thanks very much, thats the info I needed. Mike Blackstone ported my heads, but I never spoke with him I bought the heads off another individual.
