Thanks to @Vbb199 , I now have a set of long tube headers for my truck. He and I have discussed this some but I’m completely new to the subject of add on engine accessories. So, what can I expect, real world, from a set of long tube headers, and aftermarket intake manifold, and an open element air filter? I’ve never messed with any of this. I’m not looking to smoke my tires off, but I believe my 350 only makes around 160 horsepower. I think it can do better, and some more torque for towing would be nice. It has absolutely no smog equipment, and is stock other than dual flow master exhaust. Which intake manifold will work with my Quadrajet? This truck basically needs to be daily driver capable, so I don’t want to go crazy with cams and all that. I know I will lose my heat riser tube with the headers, so I figure I might as well ditch the factory air cleaner and run an open element type to get some more air flow.
