Are the only requirements stock displacement with 3v heads and staying n/a? Sure it can be done with enough compression, octane, and the right set of heads cams and intake.

Stock intake manifold will make it harder. I'm wondering if you put that as a requirement for a reason, as in you have a car somewhere that has done it......

I say it is possible, but very expensive vs. the power adder quick fix.

10.5:1or 11:1 compression, max ported heads, bigger valves, full acessory delete, stage 3 or better cams, pullies, electric water pump, full 3" exhaust, .020 overbore, on 116 octane. if its not 450 its getting damn close.

116 octane on said motor above and you're going to lose hp.

10.5 or even 11:1 compression doesn't require much octane on an n/a motor. You could probably run that on 91, or atleast with a gallon or two of 100 mixed in. I'd think it'll take somewhere north of 13:1 or 14:1 compression to reach the 450 rwh mark with the components listed.

As for the question, I'd say it's possible, but probably not real street friendly.

ok, so say its doable... WTF is the point?

the cost and lack of street use makes it worthless IMHO. Blower @ 10-12 psi 450-500 whp, simple, easy and street/strip friendly....

K.I.S.S.
