200+ h.p. from a 3.0 cis?

1978 3.0 ltr. CIS eng. number 930/04

trying to do this on a budget

what im doing is building a track car and want to up h.p. this is what i have in mind. keep in mind this car is not street legal

im going to run headers not sure on size was thinking 1"5/8 ? but not sure.

wondering what the best cam would be for the CIS pistons, and how much cam i can go with CIS? i also have a set of webers that i can run if need be.

i have carrera tensioners. pulled the motor due to a lower end rattle looks like a gold miner in the case. before the engine pull i had done a compression test and it was very even i cant find my tablet with numbers but good as i recall. the leak down was less than 5% across the board and as i recall the engine was pretty cool at the time.

anyways fire away at what to and not to do. open to ideas and want to get over 200 h.p. if possible.

thanks ed
