Too general, most power possible is a very broad statement. I can build a motor for $5000, $10,000, $20,000 ECT ECT. So are you a billionaire?? or is there a budget and power level you want.

Street legal depends on your state, so again, bad question.

you need to know how much power you want and how much power you can afford. THESE ARE THE KEYS TO ENGINE BUILDING OVERLOOKED AND COST YOU MONEY DOWN THE ROAD!!!!!

I can make you over 1000 horsepower. You just need to open the checkbook.
