Not enough HP!!!!
 
I just got my car dynoed on Saturday, and I had 191 horsepower and 250 ft/lbs. of torque. I was just wondering, what should I do next? I was figuring on getting some GT-40 heads and getting them ported and polished, or getting a new camshaft.Then I was thinkin about getting a 3.73 gear, and maybe an aluminum driveshaft.Have limited spending, so don't wantto go as far as getting a supercharger or nitrous. Want to get a new carburator too. I have an edelbrock 4-barrel on it but it sux, and I want to get a holley. What type of carburator should I get? Just want some comments on what I should do next to get the most bang for the buck.... and if anyone has a better idea of what I should do next. Thanks

Wet kit off ebay or somethin? Car only has bout 20000 miles on it. So that would prolly work out good

Got a friend that works at a junkyard, so hopefully I can find a nice set of Gt-40 heads and my dad has a friend thats a mustang freak and does nice porting and polishing. If I can find the heads in the junkyard, then I could get them for free! Other than that, dont know what to get out of the junkyard that would be worth having.

I would go for 3:73 gears then start saving on heads, cam and intake maybe TFS. Good luck.

Should I go for the GT 40 intake, I got an aftermarket edelbrock intake, dont know too much bout what all the **** is, just bought the car bout a month ago.

I know this might be a newbie question, but I was lookin at heads, and i was wondering whats the difference with Wedge Heads, and are they better? And a camshaft, which would be a good one for a daily driver during the week but a weekend racer? Thanks to all again, everyone is very helpful
