70% of your power comes from your head's as long as everthing matches them. heads intake cam then you might be able to use the carbyou took off

Add some headers and a 2.5" off road H-pipe. As for carb size, unless youre running something REALLY radical or super high RPM a 650 double pumper should be plenty.

considering your age... you should focus more on improving your driver mod, before trying to go faster

Default RE: performance questions.

for one thing were i live everyone learns to drive at around 10-12 years old. i have been driving my step dads truck whenever im at his house for the pat 5 years n(its a 76'ford custom with a 460 engine)so i can handle a little powere dont worry about that. and its not all for speed but as well as gas mileage and making my car nicer,smoother, and all around better.
and yes i know i said i want to go fast and thats true but i want to do it safely and somewhatlegaly.
i only speed when some a$$hole trys to pass me when im already going 65mph on the highway.
or when im racing and the road completly empty and clear.at 2-3 in the morning.
