not counting the few race motors that are ridiculously unstreetable, require race gas, and are in race prepped chassises that weigh next to nothing, i have yet to see an over 190whp n/a ka. period.

there have been plenty of guys with built n/a KA's that can't muster 175, with their 11:1 compression and etc etc. the PDM JUST did like 182 n/a with a rom tune and i/h/e, and that was only a few months ago.

back in the day - throw every part at n/a KA, 165whp the norm.
middle ground - ROM tuning, ITBs, almost stock KA's doing 165-175whp.
now - most people realize n/a KA is weaksauce, but fun to drive. few have managed to get proper setups together, and even fewer get actual numbers.
