350 cid horsepower
I have tried to squeeze all the bolt on horsepower I can out of the 1995 Chevy 350 cid engine in my truck. I have an Airaid cold air intake, JBA headers, a high-flow cat, and flowmaster series 40 cat back exhaust. I still feel like the truck is sluggish. What else should/can I do? Do I need an ignition system, or maybe a whole new intake manifold? How many horses should I be getting at the rear wheels with what I have already done?

You dont mention what powers your fuel intake system/carb /or tbi/well given the age of the vehicle its the only two choices I can
bring to mind,Anyways sounds like you have an altitude
problem ie not enough gasoline;sounds like you have to rejet your carburettor or change the chip in your ECM to compensate for the rarified air,plug in a code scanner and see what the buggers doing in real time,while running ,this willgive you a more comprehensive picture of whats happening

Yeah, get one of those chip thingies. It's probably the next cheapest step and might net you a few hp.
Sorry for your loss of friend Mike McGee, Shine. Great trans men are few and far between, it seems. Sadly, Mike Frade was only 66 and had been talking about retirement for ten years that I know...
