Did you open the throttle all the way?

For more power:
The usual, more compression, more cam.

If you are going to crack the bottom end:
Knife edge crank
"Eyebrow" the cylinders
Radius the web supports

Do the tin cut for added cool, while you're there.

Every litter bit helps.
Just thinking out loud...
Would knife edging the crank make any difference on a dry sump engine?
I radiused the web supports on my 3.2 but I wonder if it is worth the reduction in strength in a 5R case?
A factory RS motor puts out 210hp (DIN). If RonD922's "RS spec" motor puts out 260hp (SAE) it probably already has any mod we can think of.
