Perhaps you can do an aftermarket EFI system along with forced induction to get the power where you want it.
Well I still have that rebuilt AMG 3.2L long block sitting in the garage waiting for some extra $ to send it to "extrude hone" for porting and polishing and the Schrick cams. I'm sure I can squeeze an extra few hp out of that thing and still run it naturally aspirated on my current ECU
