Take a look at the 350 putting out 269hp stock.  This means a whopping 
.77hp/cubic  inch.  Going up to 405 puts it at 1.16hp/cu in.  Still not impressive, 
even for naturally aspirated.  Our engines, in stock form, are putting out 
about 1.45hp/cu in, assuming about 195 at the wheels.  Keep in mind, some of the 
modified I-5 20v folks are seeing about 3hp/cu in on daily drivers.  When they 
start making 1050hp with the 350, it'll be a little more interesting.

Hmmm... why bother?
Take care,
