Send the head off to a reputable engine builder and have to do the narlist port and poilsh job on it, install larger valves, and a 3 angle valve job. Get some H/d valve springs, Titanium retainers and shims, and a cam of your choice but make it good one, gotta go big if you want big HP. You can add nitrous, but I am a big disbeliever of nitrous, I like all motor. I dont know how much HP this will make that I listed above due to I'm new to the 4 cyl scene, but im pretty sure it will pump out plenty. I may completely wrong about all this but I'm sure somebody will correct me if im wrong.
you forgot to mention engine management and the tune and all told, all that work will cost 10000 bucks+ and put out about 260 whp if you're lucky. turbo is cheaper for high hp on an h22.
you might be able to stroke a h22, but you can't really bore an h22 because there isn't enough wall thickness between cylinders.
plus daily driving a 14:1 car sounds like a headache.
