Default 555 bbc wondering on upgrades intake, carb, headers

Hi i have 555bbc in a 25 outlaw it has afr 305 cnc heads, comp 240/248, 600/650 lift, the hp500 dart intake and a quick fuel 1000cfm 4150 setup with gil exhaust, i was wondering what you guys thought for more power if intake, headers, and carb are worth some gooh hp thanks

Carb should be fine.

Real headers (Eickerts ore one's with similar dimensions) with approx 18" long total tail length could/should be worth 30+hp on your set up. Maybe a tad more

MiscL
Make sure fuel psi stays at 5psi or more at WOT and top rpm
Raise your hatch just a few inches at OT and see if speed picks up..
Make sure your bottom is clean
Make sure your prop has no dings or etc
etc'
etc
etc
etc

Swap your HP 500 intake and Quickfuel 4150 setup for this. That should wake up the motor a bit.

With those cubes having exhaust manifolds isn’t doing you any favors. Is it worth the $ for headers? You might gain 1 or 2 mph. Have you dialed in your carb with a wideband? Mine ran “great” but picked up a few hundred rpm and turned it into an animal after sorting out the jetting.

What kind of power are you you looking for? Top end? Jumping up on plane? Everything is actrade off.

Spin the blower slow and you're good. With a new prop you'll blow past 80mph.

You can add this stuff to your fuel tank if you're worried about detonation.
