The best the two organizations do is say that "this is what we would like
you to do". If anybody followed that, we wouldn't have 6 HP shop vacs.
That's why our customers used to bring us their motors for rebuld. They
could either rebuild the old 2000 HP motor or they would have to buy a
modern 3500 to replace it.

No, the best it is ever going to be is 2.41 horsepower. Small motors are
rated in INPUT power.

Not according to the NEC and NEMA.

Figuring in efficiency and power factor, the best it's gonna be is
~1.5hp.
