If you're looking for more power, I would suggest a blower as a more 
effective route.  Less stress on the engine per added bhp vs. CR 
increase.  Also, you'd need quite a bit of an increase in CR to give 
the powerband that even 5 psi boost will do.

Bill Putnam, who, once he drove a MMM with a blower, became entirely 
addicted to them!
