Please.

My 350 was rebuilt by me a few years ago and has low miles. Everything was replaced except for block. Flat top pistons. Alum intake. Stock other than that.

Needs more power to awaken it. Truck has 4l80e in it and 4.10s. Stock tires. Just needs something to wake it up for take off and low speed towing. Running thru the gears it doesnt have much power. Ill be changing plugs at the same time and adding a better carb and checking the timing also.

It aint no race truck and never will be since its a long bed c20. But I figured why not give it some lope also. Any suggestions?

Stock tq came in at around 1800 on those engines. Smogger heads will hold you back, but the HT383 cam is good if you dont mind going roller. You could also add 1.6 rockers to sweeten the lift...even with the stock cam. But you will have to drill out the pushrod passages for the extra deflection.
And exhaust side porting is good for any stock GM head.
