if you change the timing appropriately and make sure you dont go lean.

Like said if you adjust timing and fuel I would think another 50 hp would not be a big deal since its a built bottom end. Another thing to worry about is rings butting or antiballoning plates in the converter.

This is a good argument for a 2 stage. Bring in the first 100, then a few hundred rpm later, bring in the second 100.
