'Brian quick question how would you find an extra 8 - 10% more power and torque from a GX160?'

hi Gregor,
If we go for 5.5hp as std, prepped then I would look for 5 or 6 areas where I could get a tenth of a horsepower. These collective areas would add up to the half horsepower increase you seek.

Typical areas include:
# torque hone the cylinder bore
# lap piston rings flat
# reduce friction on side loading of crankshaft
# fit decent valve springs
# fit high ratio rocker arms
# remove lip sealon crankcase oil seals

that's plenty... but all include adding or removing material...

why do you ask?(I could better tailor my answer if I knew what you were trying to achieve...)
Brian P.
