There are a lot of folks here that can help, you may want to be specific though

GX390 is a bad A$$ engine. mine is stock and will haul me around at 50 mph with the TAV. exhaust and intake are free flow as much as i can get it. nothing fancy and the only thing i would upgrade to would be a 10 hp diesel.
