Nice Goal. You do realize though, that if this were easily possible while 
still retaining reasonable drivability, the factory would have done it. Besides, 
that hp increase is likely to come at the expense of lower torques within the 
range of normal driving speeds.  That is, hp increases generally come at 
higher engine rpms, and you are looking to cut your engine speeds!
