If you look at the chart, adding the rockers "ONLY" added 22 HORSEPOWER at
the wheels...
 (90HP + 22HP= 112HP A 25% increase in power on a STOCK engine)...

Imagine the HP AFTER COMBINED with ALL the other mods I made...

SO, adding 45% might NOT BE SO HARD after all folks...Plus with no additional
stress only reduced stress on engine...

Heads
Cam
Exhaust
Crankshaft
Flywheel
Fuel pressure regulator
Lightened valve train
Ratio rockers
Use of synthetic oils
Friction reducing coatings
Throttle body
Match porting intake and exhaust
Air filter changes
Blueprinting parts
Adjusted timing
Plus CAREFUL assembly...

A lot of little changes add up to a bigger change.
