simplicity = consistency. most of the time. I have the exact same car as you, even color. Pull your motor, put it on an engine dyno. I will buy a crate motor making the same power, put it behind the same transmission, and stop my foot like you do.
It will run damn close, who knows maybe even better than yours. Its been done again, and again, and again. A shit ton of the guess work and variables are taken out. unlike this guy

uncommon package, uncommon setup, lots of variables. totally different beast. Can it be done, hell yeah it can. Will it be “easy” not by my standards maybe, but it might be by yours.
