I'd like a 30% increase in power in my car if only for five minutes.

Again this makes your assertion ridiculous.
In the above article tht I mentioned, the 100 oct dedicated Merlin engine for the 1940/41 era is stated in an article dedicated to RR anniversary in a British renown publication (and not an obscure extract) to be the mkVIII at 1045hp (not sure exactly - look previous pages).
This is only an example.
To be kind I hve suggested earlier that you made the confusion of SHP and BHP. You might be making the same error here (I say it obviously overplaying my naive side )
