OK--redirect...
What could/should be done in a machine shop that would yield "XX" horsepower? Example:
Head port/polish: $400 and 30-40whp
Head port/polish and blah blah blah: $1200 and 80-100whp
(I have no idea, that's why I'm asking everyone here. We need suggestions!)

Not going to help much if you don't start where you should.
1. You want some extra power = bolt-ons
2. That's not enough you want more power = FI
3. Looking for serious power = internal work to handle the high hp out put you are looking for, otherwise it is wasted money that could have been spent on something better.

...I understand what you are trying to convey. You merely want to know how much money and for what service (engine) will yield "X" HP and Torque. This is a good question!
Many bolt-on items everyone already knows about including superchargers and turbo chargers but not too many speak about or deal with engine internals. I too would be interested in modifying (the engine) what I already have; not spend MEGA buck on a brand new built longblock. If I had a ton of $$$ coming out my ears I would definitely go this route though.
lol.
