yeah thats kinda what i thought, what are some cheap up-grades that would boost it up some. and a question, is $250-$300 worth it for duel flowmasters? (prev. owners son works at a muffler shop and says he can get it for me for that much)

Decent cam, long tube headers, 2.25" exhaust, dual plane intake and a decent carb will be a nice start. Also a 3.25 or 3.55 gear will help out tons...
