Hello folks. I have a '65 chevy truck - it has a 1992 5.7l chevy engine in it. It has a holley 4160(600cfm) carburetor on a standard performer edelbrock aluminum intake, with a HEI distributor. This stuff was in here and on it when I bought the truck.
The engine:

The thing about all of that stuff is, it has the stock '92 exhuast manifolds on it! From the stock manifolds it flows into this crazy looking bent pipe, then from that into some old 'cherry bomb brand' glasspacks then into some straight pipes to the rear of the truck. So, I am thinking that is restricting a bit of flow... from what little I understand about such things.
I know there are headers out there for a '92 engine... but those are for the '92ish trucks... right? Plus... what about after the headers? There needs to be some pipes, then mufflers then it has to exit somewhere.... I'm in Georgia so emissions is not an issue with this truck.
Also, this is a long bed, 127" wheelbase.
Anyway, tips or tricks are appreciated... or point me to a website so that I can read up and get a clue or two.
Thank you.
