Throw out that exhaust and get equal length headers. I used a stinger megaphone exhaust right out the middle on the drag strip and a glaspak muffler on the street. Make sure your distributor is correctly times and the springs inside it are correct for your modidications. Bolt on Higher ratio rocker arms can be helpfull. But you know with out splitting the engine cases fly cutting the cyl heads and larger bore cyl jugs and engle high lift camshaft . Other improvements Ported dual port heads you will be limited to about 100 hp.

John Paul said just about everything you need to know, but I think he will back me up on these items. 1. a liter flywheel 2. solid mount the engine. 3. A turbo 4. This won't give you any more hp,but it will help the engine. Run a cold air duct to number 3 cylinder. #3 cylinder always runs hot and robs you of power. hope this helps

Wally is a finger pointer without a clue and poor Sarah is less than clueless.

change the heads for ones with large intake valves. and change the double exhaust to a single header which combines all four cylinders.
