Waking Up a Turd

It honestly sounds like it's over cammed and under geared right now. If you have J heads, you might port them or leave them for now and get a bit smaller camshaft. Might be able to trade the 3.23 stump for something in the 3.55-3.73 range.

I agree to the over cam and under gear. Do you think the heads will support the cam, If i replace the intake?
I want to keep it street able, and hesitate to replace the gears until i have an OD trans.
