Default 1979 c3 Corvette emissions

I have a 1979 corvette, and as you probably know, they were choking for horsepower back in those days. Is there any way to boost the HP?? I have converted it to dual exhaust and gotten rid of the catalytic converter. Is there any other emissions controls that I should mess with that would increase HP? Please don't bother me with the legal stuff. Thanks

When I had my 77 L-48 I did headers, 2-1/2' duals with high flow cats, an Edelbrock intake (no EGR), Holley carb, and an open element air cleaner. It ran quite nicely with those mods.
