If you don't want to change the pistons/crank for supercharging or stroking the engine you could consider adding a nitrous oxide injection system. They are relatively cheap and the extra power is only there when needed (i. E. at the strip).

I don't know if 11:1 compression ratio will cause any problems with N2O injection as I'm not an absolute expert on this topic, but I guess a 351W bottom end built to handle 450 natural aspirated hp should withstand an extra 150 nitrous hp. A simple carb plate system should be able to deliver about 150hp, if you want more you'll need one of them port fogger systems.
