Check out some of the engine builds under "Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) - Engine"

More compression and a recurved distributor is the best bang for the buck!

Better exhaust system- either 2 1/4" from a stock manifold, or possibly Dutra Duals into a 2 1/2" system; with a FREE flowing muffler into a tailpipe one size smaller.

cheap way for some more compression is cut the head signifcant power gain for less than 100bucks depending on your machine shop
