how to get power out of a n/a 3.8 buick

[vps_are_the_best]

Simply i want to know how to milk the power out of these classic motors...my vc commodore has one out of a vr and it already has the plenum removed from the manifold, high flow panel filter, mendrel bent 2.5 inch exhaust-straight through cat, straight through muffler and a glass pack hotdog, plans are to fit an OTRCAI, camshaft and rockers....what else would get power while keeping it naturally aspirated and not breaking the bank?

Why is the plenum removed....?

The usual story, people want power without putting in the $$$, KW cost $$$.

You could get it tuned, and also try saving some weight, remove all the seats, little things like that should help you.

More capacity via extra pistons would be your best bang for buck.
