All figurative numbers: 4 Barrel intake/carb = 8hp; cam = 10hp; heads = 15hp; exhaust headers = 8hp; electronic ignition = 10hp ....Do all of these together and you will gain 80hp ;). If you replace the intake/carburetor you introduce more fuel/air only.

If you buy a 268/ 274 cam try to find the rocker shafts from a 352 as they got adjustable rockers. If not you may have a problem to shim the rocker shat on the 390!!
