it could, but you'd have to be damn carefull. The stock headbolts would need to be 'over torqued' and you would need a lower compression head gasket.

What kinda HP are you looking to make with that? Over 300rwhp the CA is pretty weak as far as the pistons and bearings go so you'd want to look into those pretty soon. But it would do it once or twice if you were just tryin to get some good dyno numbers. I just wouldn't try it more than a couple times.

I dont see a reason why it shouldnt. A light car and a good set of tires.
