You can add a couple hundred hp NA before displacement increase should even be a consideration.

I just bought the car so I don't know much about it. I believe stock lower end with some head work and cam. Small shot of nos(dry kit). It runs 11.90's with nos so I'm guessing not a lot done the the engine.

Probably for the same reason (at least around here) a lot of people call all locking pliers vise-grips. They also call hex keys Allen wrenches....
