...well speaking for my self...I am building/have partially built my motor N/A because I spun a bearing in it and had to have it torn down and rebuilt. So being that it was going to be torn down anyhow, I went ahead and upgraded the pistons, bored out the block and upgraded the rods to start. I dont particually want to go faster, but because it didnt cost me any more in labor as far as the install and the parts werent too big of a difference, I went ahead and did it. I figured at least if I wanted to go faster OR manily, when it comes time to sell the car/motor, it will have more worth then being a stock motor. I have to finish the head work and tranny upgrades later, but I still needed to know some questions about what parts to use, how its done, etc...pertaining to building it...N/A. Thats my view...but I can see how one could say going N/A is boring. Though I've discussed with a few honda/acura builders that its somewhat fun to race a FI car with a built N/A motor and win...in the quarter. And before it gets out of hand, not saying that it happens alot or often, but it has happened, if your into racing N/A. Thanks for the input...but still doesnt answer my general question.
