It shouldn't be impossible to get 1.7 per cube on pump. It's pretty easy with a non exotic build to do it with more compression, challenged heads, and less than ideal headers.
My old W5 motor @ 422 inches went 140@ 3220 pounds with a crude suspension, shelf tti headers, and likely a non optimal carb tune.
That should be 1.7, or mighty close, and the heads were definately too small.
Good heads for engine size, optimal headers and optimized A/ F's even with pump gas shouldn't be challenging I wouldn't think.
