Get a cam, spring, lifter and intake kit from edelbrock along with a 4 barrel carb and headers to get you started on the path to power. I'm assuming you now have a 2 barrel H code? Get some new heads for the most benefit.

no i have a 4 barrel m code and i already have a weiland intake on it. by replacing the cam will it require a lot of tuning ? how much would this cost and how much do u think it would improve?

the carb is also a new edelbrock and works well.

summitracing.com or jegs.com will have cam and lifter kits. It's good to know how much valve to piston clearance and valve lift you currently have before choosing a new one. A higher lift and duration cam can make noticalbe power imrovement. Try desktop dyno software for kicks.
