Re: 454 needs more power

One other thing not mentioned in the bad combo of cam, carb and intake is compression ratio. Lots of 454's where advertised as having 8 to 1 or 9 to 1 compression but where closer to the high sevens. When you yank the heads look to see how far down in the hole the piston's are.
