    500fwhp from a 390 HiPo...what would it take?

    heads are the key.. from what i hear, the reason the 428 produced more power than the 390 was because it first had better heads, then better everything else so basically, an aggressive combo would probably do it large cam, nice intake, top of the line heads, headers... the works as for...

    Edelbrock carb problem
