I added an edelbrock EPS intake, Summit 1102 cam, MSD ignitionon mine and it woke it up a bit, but not much. Biggest thing that holds those engines back is the low compression heads. A vortec head crate engine would be a nice upgrade, but you'd need a different intake.
Here is an article where they build one up.
