What else can I do to make more horsepowers except changing heads,cam or use a stroker kit???

This is what I have done:

K&n airfilter 3"
Holley 3310s carb
Holley Street Dominator
Mopar distributor + Msd ignition box.
Msd  blaster2 coil
Exhaust 3"
Headers 3"
727 tranny with a 2000-2500 stall converter, Not 100% sure but somewhere between.
3:54 gear (8 3/4 rear)

Thinking about getting this, I`ve heard that it might help alittle:

Hope to get some more advice.

Have you tuned what you have to the Max?

Timing,jetting, cam timing

Cold air intake, ram air intake

reduce fiction, synthetic oil , lighter weight oil, windage tray

reduce accessory load , underdrive pulley,clutch/flex fan

x-pipe in exhaust

just a few ideas

oldschool

put it on a dyno and have it tuned,you might be suprised!
1968 cuda formula S bb 4-sp                          1968 Charger R/T 500" 4-sp
1970 Charger 580" 4-sp
1970 Cuda Convertible 500" 4-sp

TOO MUCH HORSEPOWER, IS ALMOST ENOUGH!

Have done most of these things. More that I could do to gain a few more HP???

Are you talking about just making more HP. or quicker at the track. ?

Without changing heads,cam or size of the engine , its hard to improve the volumetric or thermodynamic efficiency of your engine. You allready have addressed the external improvements.

Bang for the buck gearing  and traction are the cheapest improvement in E.T.

You posted an electric fan ad . I don't think 2000 cfm would be enough air for a large engine, I run 2 electric fans at 5800 cfm and a 100 amp alt. to power them. I don't have the drag of the engine driven fan, but I still have the belt running the water pump and the alt. has to work harder to power the electric fans. I did the change for the increased cooling in traffic.

You can put a switch on the field wires for your alt. Shut of electrical production when you want to make peak Hp. Recharge when cruising.
