Best bang for the buck?

Well, I have no idea what he has tried so far, and it is his money.
He stated he had limited funds. I have found over the years that people who are disappointed in their cars performance are still disappointed after dumping a lot of parts,[money], into it , if......they don't learn to tune.
just like we have no idea what he's tried I don't think he is said he's disappointed in his car either? He just wants it to go faster? I heard him say budget and then I heard him say Edelbrock heads... I gave him a more budget-wise had option at that beginning few posts..
I'd like to quote him and ask him this specific question. If you could tune it and optimize it all the way down to 13.5 would he really truly be happy?...
he's already shown he's got the mechanical ability to at least take a cam in and out and change the springs on as heads..
it's easy for us that have went fast to slow down and be comfortable with it but do you remember before you did go fast??..
My hunch is that even if he got down to 13 5 he still ain't going to be happy with three-quarters or more of the drag racers leaving him in the dust...
