Only two ways to get more horsepower, increase the engine's torque or increase the RPM.
To increase the torque you need to increase the pressure in the cylinder from the burning of the fuel. This means that you must increase the amount of fuel and the amount of air with each burn. Expensive to do as you will spend big bucks to get there.
Increasing the RPM will increase Hp but may be expensive if the engine blows up from too much RPM.
The IH engineering department spent many hours calculating loads on cranks, rods, tranny gears, axles, etc. I suspect they have it fairly well balanced when looking at the total system.
Of course, everything has a reserve which is intended to be used up in a long life. If you go over the design, low life will result.
Just my 2 cents.
BTW, will be in Charleston WV tomorrow...(Nitro actually)
