You did say that N/A is faster in your initial response, that is why I quoted it.

Cams and a cheesy, overpriced intake do not make a built motor. Forged pistons, rods, headwork, sleeves, etc. do.

A serious N/A build will require just as much tuning as a turbocharged motor, so if you think that you can just throw some internals in because you heard they were the bombdiggity JDM shiznat, you will be sadly disappointed when the idle lopes like a bitch, there are flatspots and studders everywhere in the powerband, and it only makes 160 whp after spending all that money and labor putting it all together.

I am just saying that any route to decent power will require knowledge. If you don't know what you are doing, don't be surprised when your results are lackluster.
