Triple Dell'Orto's/Webers 40/45 mm, venturi's around 35/38, larger SS 
valves, porting and balancing of the head, free flow exhaust, electronic 
ignition to start with.
If you have to build up the engine from scratch, have the crank ground 
on very tight tolerances in all bearings, have it tuftrided, polished 
and balanced, balance and polish the piston rods increase oil pressure 
by using a high volume pump if that is available or rebuild and use 
shims under the relief valve spring. Use an electric oil pump to prime 
the system before starting up. Use an oil cooler with thermostat.
Lighten the flywheel a little for a bit more accelleration allthough it 
does not provide extra BHP, do not over do it as you may wreck the 
gearbox, drive shaft and differential because of unsufficiently damped, 
by mass, vibrations.
