Uh...

If you have cast iron pistons, you should probably change to cast aluminum. That alone would probably be worth ~100 HP.

A 150 HP shot seems to be the accepted limit on an otherwise stock V8.

75-100 HP on a V6.

50-75 HP on a 4 banger.

Run it 'till she blows. Then you will know how much you can run on cast slugs.
