Check the timing curve on the dist.  Lighter springs might wake up the engine depending on what advance you have at what rpm.  It made a world of difference on my circletrack 350 in my almost stock engine.  My $.02 ----- Original Message ----- From: Dan McIntosh To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, June 27, 2004 9:19 PM Subject: [Chevelle-list] help, need horsepower Hi gang, hers the deal..   I have a 1971 El Camino 350CID motor in my 64... it is very, very slow.   I have the stock powerglide, and 3.something to 1 rear gears..   4 bbl edelbrock 600 carb, power plus aluminum dual plane intake, stock ram horn exhaust manifolds with 2.5" duals with glasspacks.  HEI dist with good 8.8mm wires.   What do I need to do to get some power out of this thing.  It is such a dog as is... I have super skinny 13" tires and cant even do a burnout most of the time..   I'm not looking for 8 million horsepower, just something a little more respectable than the 110 HP is feels like I have now..   do I need to build up the motor some, or would a trans swap to a 200R4 be the way to go?   Thank you for any help you can give..     Dan McIntosh Street Metal Fabrications Pavement Scraping 1964 Impala S.S. http://www.lowriderimpala.com
