Have we reached the limit?

[cyclone]

So i'm looking over my engine the other day, figuring out the next round of mods that i need to make to the boat to keep it competitive and i began wondering what the roof is on naturally aspirated pump gas horsepower? or more directly, what the roof is on power with my current displacement?
Barring any piston to valve contact issues, i'm thinking that if i bump the compression up to 10.5:1, switch to a more aggressive camshaft and larger carb, that 800hp might be an achievable number.
A blower would make things easier but would put me way over that mark and with my goal only being the century mark (mph), would seem to be overkill. Im thinking that another 100-150hp might get me close to the century mark, but not completely there.
oh yeah, i'm not a fan of nitrous so there's no need to even discuss it. And i know that my motor in a different hull would easily get me there but that's not an option. i've got too much time invested in mine.
What do you guys think??

Only 800 with a single carb and 10.5 to 1? why not 900 or 950 why put a limit on it, I am sure westech will get you what ever you want.

damn blown cant you pull your head out of your ass for two minutes? if you dont have any valuable info to share then get the hell off the thread.
i dont think over 800hp is realistic. 800 might not even be.
