Advice for Noob with Slant 6 Barracuda

Your slant is probably putting out about 115hp when dialed in right. If you want 200hp it's going to take a lot more than just throwing on a 4bbl with headers.

Check out slantsix.org. There's a ton of good information on the forum of slant builds done by various members.

I did the 2bbl super six conversion with exhaust and HEI ignition on my car. I'm not pushing 200 horses but it's not a slug when getting on the freeway anymore either. Those 3 things are the easiest and cheapest mods you can make to bump up the power without tearing into the engine.

I know what you're feeling though, when I had my ill running 1bbl carb I just felt like I was in everyones way because it took the car so long to get up to speed.
