500+chp w just porting through to the heads, stock cams, headers and exhaust
550chp doable w stock displacement and bottom end. Add Pete cams.
Look at tpepmeir's 427 build for 700+chp and lots of choices in between and up to 441CID.

I agree its apples to oranges but its the theme I like to keep the same. As light weight as possible and rpm as high as possible. At the same time 'bang for the buck' seems to be the smart way to go. if I won the lottery though ... oh boy... I would be doing some really fun stuff with this car !
