One of the generic horse power questions
Hi guys ive got one of those most likely pointless horse power questions. Ive got a 455 Olds in my 69 Cutlass. Now the engine is out of a 73 Delta 88. I pulled the engine and I have replaced this:
-Edelbrock .472 Cam and lifter Set
-Comp. Double Timing chain and Gears
-Edelbrock 455 Performer Intake manifold
-750 Cfm Edelbrock Electric Choke Carburetor
-Flow Tech Headers
-Summit 2.5" Full True Dual Exhaust
Now besides getting new heads which I plan to do eventually, im just poor right now, I would like to know if there are things I can do or buy to up my hp a bit.
-Side question Now I alwaysee these engines with like 800 fuel lines coming every which way over the manifold and im just curious as to what a lot of that is.

Take it to a shop that does dyno tuning and let them 'optimize' the performance of your motor.
Changing to 3:42 gears w/posi will help a lot, too.
Don't expect a 10 second car with your compression, but it'll be fun!
