Adding to the thoughts on the The Perfect Street Engine I would look into a vacuum pump electric operated. Reducing crankcase pressures will increase output and at no cost in power grabbing when a good alternator is used to feed the needed voltage to run the pump.

Hmmm, I would expect that a BAD alternator would be the one that does not rob power! A "good" alternator is the one that robs engine power to generate electrical power. (No such thing as a free lunch!)
