Performance

I recently purchased a 68 C10. It has a 350 with a Edlebrock intake and 4 barrel carb. It runs good and sounds good, but a little more punch would be fun. What can I do to increase the engine performance for the best bang for the buck?

Re: Performance

Probably headers would be the biggest improvement (in performance, not livability) you could make for cheap. Manifolds are very restrictive.
