How? back in the 70s I played with lots of L24-L28s ,big valves, porting , cams ,compression etc short of very high pressure turbo charging I don,t see 3 to 4 hp per cu inch. Turbo power calculations usually run about 100% increase per atmosphere pressure. ie the 150-180 hp engine becomes 300-350 at 15 psi boost. Are you expecting to run 30 psi. ??.
