Stock engine basics

I have always been amazed at the amount of horsepower Stock Eliminator racers have been able to extract from their cars. I would think that the engines must be extremely efficient, squeezing the last bit of hp from every drop of fuel.
My question is, what do you guys do to the engines to make them run so strong on seemingly mundane parts?
I realize some basics like fully balanced rotating assembly and cc' ing the heads would help, but what else?
I'd like to apply some of the things to my street engine when I rebuild it.

Thanks,

Dan
