Turbo had the straight eight performance figured out:

Two turbos, fuel injection, digital ignition and cram it into the smallest car.


Less than that, i don't think you could do a lot to wake these motors up since the compression is really THAT LOW and the intake and exhaust flow setup isn't that optimal on a flathead engine. It's more than comparing cubes when it comes to horsepower, and the straight eight was designed to be basic, reliable, torquey, and smooth. It accomplishes all of that.
