Default Decent power increase?

I've been thinkin about savin up and finally gettin a better TB, MAF, and maybe injectors if it would be worth it with my setup? Would I get any noticeable gains by doin that stuff? Stock heads.

??

Would the tb and maf do anything decent? Bigger injectors even usefull at all on my setup? Just tryin to see if they'd benifit me enough to do any of it or just do suspension and stuff.

na cuz I'm plannin on gettin some cobras in not too too long, so I'm not gonna spend 300$ on tires when I'll just have to get a diff size anyway. I guess I could just save up for like 2months or so and get my cobras and tires? or just get that 351 pulled and start workin on that.

Any idea what it costs to get a motor bored, align honed, new bearings in the bottem end?

you will gain nothing by swapping that stuff in now. the heads need to be upgraded first. bigger tb, maf, injectors support higher power levels, not create them.
