I came to the conclusion a N/A engine basically puts out torque based on its capacity.
Namely 25Nm for a 250.

Improving on that is borderline impossible even when you're Honda.

What you can change is :
- coming closer to this target when working on an older engine
- changing the Rpm at which peak torque occurs with influence on power right away.

At the end of the day it's always a compromise on how much you are willing to spend and what you expect from it
