haha im only 18, not much knowledge here, first motor build. If you don't want to tear it apart for more HP you can add a holly carburetor, headers, ignition, intake, camshaft, and clean up the drive train. Lighter drives haft, light flywheel etc so there is less parasitic loss. If you really want power without going crazy get a mini blower, puts out maybe 2-8lbs of boost. Weiand makes one I think
