Cold air intakes will give you 1-2 ponies.

Regearing won't "give" you more power, but it'll make bigger tires easier to turn so you'll have more acceleration.

Electric fans help out a lot. Maybe 5hp depending, and maybe a .5mpg gain.

Other than that, forced induction is the only way to go.

The intake and exhaust has been ported and a truck is geared low. Electric fan is install

I'm not into old trucks much- cant you get like MSD coils or something? I heard older engines were easier to mod.

Z max engine and fuel treatment and e 3 plugs made a world of difference

Fuel treatments are a bunch of hocus pocus. Shell or BP gasoline has all the fuel treatments you need. I fell for the Seafoam and Gumout scam when I was 16 and paid $400 for it- they killed my catalytic converters, and those E3 spark plugs don't burn any different than your stock Motorcrafts

I'm a big believer in zmax. I've seen how clean it keeps everything. But as for power. Not so much. But deff keeps inner engine parts clean and lubed. Not a fan of those so called "firecracker" plugs. I tried them in my 03 cobra "she is no longer with us". And I hated em. Went back to motorcraft and ran 9.40's all night. Just kept breaking up.

E3 is proven to burn better

You can do anything to a 300 that you can do to any other engine.

From what I understand, a small 4BBl carb, torque oriented cam, and EFI split manifolds are supposed to net the best results for a carb truck.

They made a better manifold for the 300s in very heavy vehicles, but they are supposed to be very hard to find.

Understand that the 300 is a low rpm motor and mod accordingly. Changing an engines nature can be very difficult and usually is very expensive
