Pulling the PCV valve out, adding in 42° timing and bolting on a Holley 500 cfm 2 barrel got me to 234 hp. I swapped on a Blue Thunder 1x4 intake and a 600 Holley for giggles and got 264 hp. It had great oil pressure, ran like a top.
It would have been interest to bolt a set of TFS heads to that engine with the Blue Thunder 1x4 intake and 600 Holley.

Of course you would have wanted to swap in a custom cam next. Then I would have said bigger carb - 650 or 700. Oh when will it stop?
