a hydraulic unit could handle the extra power. If a variable pump of sufficent capacity were installed the engine performance could be increased until the structural limitations of either the engine or other parts of the drivetrain were met.
however a hydraulic unit as I mention would cost nearly as much as an entire car does today, unless advances in technology and production allowed manufacturing costs to be reduced.
