well you could make a street engine that could run on pump 92 octane that could do better than 1.3 IF you have enough money and time and knowledge and all that other stuff
first BIG CARB (or duels!) edel's new 800 is a really nice carb (stuck one on my hulk pullin chev 350)
the air-gap manifold makes OODLES of more power! especially with ram air designs and hood scoops
what about aluminum heads? they can support HUGE amounts of flow
the new Xtreme cams that produce on average 40+hp out of the box on ported heads
friction savers? light weight oils? eletctric water pumps and fans? better gaskets all round? the choices are endless if your bank account is
i believe near 2hp per cid is possible IF everything is done right...
i have seen 470hp 360's done this way (Car Craft) now it wouldn't take much to get that extra hp from the engine but you do start taking chances
