normally asperated engines, running pump gas. are more difficult to make HP. Supercharging and exotic fuels are the easy way. However, the trick here is keeping together. The new engines are street driven, yet make more power than the early mussel cars. In 96 GM came out with the Vortec cylinder head for the SMC and added 40 HP with the same CR and smaller valves. Technology at work. Sometimes we just get lazy.
