I would like to get more power out of my motor, what do you recomend? It has strait pipes with glass packs. How many horse more will headers give me. Also if I convert it to a 4 barrel carb, how many more horse. Whats the difference between a high rise intake and and a short alluminum intake power wise? What bolt on's will help me increase power? I only have a grand to spend. Thanks for the help.

To get some horses to it-slap on a headers, put an electronic ignition system, performace camshaft and the list goes on-but 1K is not enough-in the future you can consider a Turbo or Super Charger good luck on your endeavors
