Only two ways to get more horsepower, increase the engine's torque or increase the RPM.
To increase the torque you need to increase the pressure in the cylinder from the burning of the fuel. This means that you must increase the amount of fuel and the amount of air with each burn. Expensive to do as you will spend big bucks to get there.
Increasing the RPM will increase Hp but may be expensive if the engine blows up from too much RPM.
The IH engineering department spent many hours calculating loads on cranks, rods, tranny gears, axles, etc. I suspect they have it fairly well balanced when looking at the total system.
Of course, everything has a reserve which is intended to be used up in a long life. If you go over the design, low life will result.
Just my 2 cents.
BTW, will be in Charleston WV tomorrow...(Nitro actually)

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let�s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I�ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
