Jeff -
I did the N/A thing for a LONG time before I tubo'd my KA...best I saw was ~160rwhp with cutom intke, header, exhaust, pulley, JWT ECU, base timing at 22, no emmisions, S13 cams, etc, etc...all the bolt-ons except a flywheel.
As Russ said, highest street N/A KA dyno I've ever seen is 171...and that was an 11:1 motor.
It's just not out there...if the KA was a good N/A motor, I'd have kept it N/A. All I wanted was 200rwhp, and that IS NOT achievable without FI.
Stroke is too long, rev limit too low...and not enough displacement for much more than ~170-175rwhp.
Trust me...I tried, Russ tried, Frankie tried, Rich Bjornson (sp?) tried, etc..and non of us ever got close to 180.

EDIT: ANd I see you point about the newer technology, but that may be worth only a few HP, considering the limited revs.
