Let the beatings commence...........
New guy......wanna know what its worth....do a little research locally, check ebay, craigslist, etc.
Horsepower? Lets be up front about this question (that gets asked about once a week around here) The 305 is a dog, plain and simple. You can start with a new carb and intake, then headers, but you wont notice huge gains. *legal disclaimer* yes we know there are monster 305's out there, but you can buy a well worked 350 for much less cash. So the ultimate, be all end all answer for a noticeable horsepower difference is to just to an engine swap.
Now let me ask you. What the HE77 are you doing with 4.11's in that thing? That right there is a huge 'seat of the pants' improvement, but its gonna KILL your highway drive-ability.
