Maybe a set of higher lift cams would do the trick, this of course doesn't factor in the maximum engine speed you for the Valvetronic system (a higher redline would likely be required) and then there is cost. Who would pay $1500-$2000 extra for 10-20whp when you can double that and have 80-100whp with a Supercharger?
My head hurts.

Exactly. You'd need to really start playing with the head work and cam overlap, ultimately you'd have to find more revs to get the type of power discussed.
Far easier to add boost, though personally i'm confused as to why folks are doing that on this motor. But that's besides the point.
As an aside, it's pretty sweet you guys can pick up 20WHP via a revised intake mani.
