Most likely the Biggest "Bang"  for the $$$  is to reduce the "Squish" in the 
heads.  This also can  increase compression ratio  if desired...and still run 
on 89+  octane.

This invloves cutting the gasket "step" to reduce the distance from the 
piston to the "Step"  in the combustion chamber.  You then adjust CR  by  removing 
metal from the pocket.  0.032"  is minimum  distance....closer the better.

Next,  depending on what cam / transmission /  diff. gears you'll run......An 
adjustable camshaft gear!  From www.american-pi.com   It's failsafe!  and you 
can tune your cam to best performance without a complete teardown!

Stock carbs...possibly Bored 1/8" work great!   A good distributor advance 
curve  and free flowing Air intake / exhaust  also make a big difference.
