Anything is possible but how much do you want to spend? I did simple intake and exhaust mods and a remap and dyno'd 20-25bhp more. I did it on a budget and for a bit of fun rather than ultimate numbers but you are dreaming if you think you can triple that extra output by doing the same sort of mods. On the same dyno my 550 already makes more than those numbers of my old car from exhaust mods only with 100 cell cats, sports manifolds and modified exhaust (not that this adds any power, done for the sound).

Horsepower potential is somewhat independant of displacement size, as higher RPMs provide additional airflow "as a replacement for displacement". All you have to do is supply ideal amount of fuel at the right time & you produce HP. Problem is torque is what gets you to higher rpm's quickly & this is where there's no replacement for displacement!
