I think 950 reliable hp from a 540 with only 5-6 psi of boost will be difficult to make unless you get some really exotic heads and solid lifter cam. I'm right there at 944hp/960 ft lbs tq with my 540 BUT I'm running 9-10 psi of innercooled boost using a centrifugal blower,hydraulic roller cam around .600 lift 234/240 at .050 duration,afr 315 cnc heads,thermal barrier coatings on pistons and heads. It idles at 750 rpm's/10 inches of vacuum,will run on 92 octane,Smitty

run profiler heads and you may need solid roller cams to make that much hp but you can do it. mer made 1240 hp at 6.5 lbs of boost on freds motors they weren't much bigger than 540's
