It looks like you found part of your problem, but everything must work in unison. Primary pipes must be taken into consideration too. Many of the component supplied and used on these engines and cars were intended for their original displacement and although increasing the displacement WILL increase the overall performance all the components on both sides of the valve seat must be reevaluated for their flow potential and capacity. Only with everything properly sized can you expect blistering performance from any engine. Good luck
