I think if someone had access to the correct data and was able to input it into a program, ie: engine analyzer or desktop, one could theoretically predict the "ideal" power and torque for the 5sfe. There are always things to be gained "over stock". If you knew what the limit was, you can always figure what can be done.
I gathered as much data as I could for my 5vz and plotted it on engine analyzer. I got as close as I could to matching the stock hp/tq chart. Then I started modifying the hard parts to see what the limit for hp/tq was. I have no guarantee if the hard parts will hold up, but I know the modifications that I've made so far seem to be close enough to the calculated numbers from my dyno charts. Course, that is a long drawn out process.
My suggestion would be to go with Tom on what has already been proven. Otherwise, use the internet find the necessary data and figure it out instead of just guessing.
