I was thinking that a set of 98mm P&C's (have to research the most cost effective way) 10-10.5 comp and good cams and maaaaybe a lil head clean up.

That might be the best meet in the middle solution for my desire for umph.
I hate to say it on this site, but EBS Racing pairs JE's with reconditioned Mahle cylinders. I've run a few sets in different motors. By far the best bang for the buck. They will supply either 10.5:1, which would require twin plugging it, or 9.5:1, which can be run with your stock single plug ignition.

Oh, and just to be clear - that's rear wheel horsepower and torque, so add the customary 15% or so for crankshaft numbers. That doesn't put you all that far behind a stock 3.6, but it's not going to tie your poor old 915 up into a knot, either.
