First off, you should look at either installing a filtered breather cap on the d-side valve cover to replace the little elbow deal, or simply install the proper elbow into the bottom of the air cleaner and run an oil-rated hose between the two. No good sucking dirty crap into your crankcase

do you want more horse power? an air cleaner isnt gunna do much. intake like the edelbrock rpm would be good on a stocker, a cam (not sure what type) a tune. headers, dual exhaust, etc

If you want power, order a set of long tube headers form Jegs. Also get an intake like stated above. A perfromer RPM, or RPM airgap would work nice. Call Comp Cams and they can recommend you a cam that will work with your stock heads. You should notice a big improvement.

could look into a pertronix electric ignition as well. doesnt add much, but gives a much nicer ride and gas milage and its fairly cheap. about $50

maybe a 408 stroker w/ a 100 shot of no2. oh, and a supercharger. thats where i would start.

you can also replace the blinker fluid and get a high performance muffler bearing
