No Secrets that I know of . . . of course, I'm not winning!
HP seems to depend on the dyno. Anywhere from 105 to 120, depending on the
dyno and/or fuel. Similar torque numbers but, of course, at lower revs.
However, it appears that the actual HP is roughly the same from any builder
who knows the engines.
My secret, to keep from losing too badly, is good throttle response even
from relatively low revs (3000). Makes the driver's job easier.
