seeing someone asking a way to get to 450 hp, I was curious as to some of the members ways to get an easy increase in horsepower. Minor mods, additives, etc etc.
like me, I have a factory 401. what would be some easy ways to increase my pony power?

Intake and carb definately
Its a old joke that when edelbrock posts gains of 15-40hp the 40 came from the amc motor (performer intake!) The AMC V8's are set up right with exeption of exhaust(usually) and aspiration, intake and carb.....When you go to a large intake and carb you really open the that motor up and make it breath fire,...Try those first like Fuzz and Mudrat mentioned, you will be suprised

which carb would you guys recommend I put on my 401? I already have the duel exaust(love the sound) so Im some of the way there to letting the 401 breathe better.
holley or edle 750 cfm

say I went with the edel 750, would it be smarter to change my intake manifold with it? and if so, which would be best?
intake and cam go hand in hand , what cam do you have in your 401 Redemption?
