If you're running a 900cc motorcycle engine in a race car and only getting
75hp, someone probably left out a few pistons.  Either that or your motor
is so shagged that it's only got about 50 psi of compression left.  My
400cc 4-cylinder race bike makes 70hp; a 900cc 4-cylinder bike motor can
put out 140ish using the standard hot-rod tricks.  I'd suggest a phone
call to some of the motorcycle race tuners for a set of race cams, flat
slide carbs (or a custom EFI system :-), some porting work, etc. 

As you can guess, motorcycles are near and dear to my heart, so if you'd 
like some additional info, drop me a line and I'll help you all I can.

And last but not least, put that engine in a two-wheeled chassis so you 
can drag your knees in the corners.  :-)
