So I've built up my motor to where I feel like I can run it on the street sometimes (mostly just to the track and maybe a weekend cruise) but built mostly for the strip. I've built BBCs before but this one is the biggest one so far. She's a 496.

Its putting out close to 700 horses. But being the power hungry guy I am I'm looking for some ways I could squeeze every last drop of ponies I can out of her. What would you do with this setup? Money isn't too much of an issue. I have about $2000 I can play with. Was thinking about porting out the heads and intake and possible selling the can and going with a little bigger stick. Any input is appreciated thanks.

 

Thinner headgasket for more compression? What's the ring gap? Might be able to hit it with some nitrous? What size primary on your headers?

Sometimes its not about making more power, but optimizing what you currently have, have you thought about more converter/gear? A good converter will wake a car up something fierce
