Dave - It sounds like quite a challenge..

I'm afraid I don't know anything about the particular engine you have there but I suspect that re-working the heads to flow a little better is going to be about it in terms of HP Boost without power adders... Custom pistons to raise compression are going to be pricey - unless there is already an aftermarket for this engine.. Cams - about the same problem..

Now - if it were me, I would check into a pair of Turbos - not huge, but small to medium size so they'll spool up quickly..
