the only other cheap thing to do that i can think of is take the belt off the a/c compressor and smog pump.

i aint got those so im good

i might try the distibutor advance and get my carb right.

I tried this with my uh...Ramcharger. Did everything bolt on and never got what I wanted...so. I decided to do a cam when I stripped the motor to put on a new intake. I pulled and replaced the cam with Comp Cams magnum 280H and it was like I doubled the power! it was night and day, and the thing would smoke all 4 tyres in 4x4 Before it wouldn't even spin the 35 12.50 superswampers and it had a 426 wedge motor in it. I did basically the same thing with ,y 85 blazer which had the 350 in it but was totally gutless. The guy I bought it from had said he had a good stout cam in it but right before I bought it he changed it out to a RV cam for gas mileage. He told me it robbed hp and didn't improve gas mileage because now he had to floor it everywhere he went now compared when it had the other cam in it which coincidentally was a Magnum 280H. Now one thing here, EVERYONE was telling me to not go 280 because of the duration and such, but I did it anyway, and the thing woke up the motor big time! It didn't do ANYTHING everyone who all supposedly knew what they were talking about told me it would. It pulled HARD off idle to redline and everywhere in between and was amazing. I suggest saving up a couple hundred and doing a cam.

well a new cam would be awsome but i want to see how long the engine will last its never been torn down past the valve covers.

would 1.6 rocker arms help horse power?
