A nice Red-top SR with a GT28R or S15 T28 hairdryer,FMIC,aftermarket exhaust/downpipe , SAFC or something of the like would suit you for nice boosting....but if you want torque you should either stick with the KA,or swap a hybrid. As much work as you have gotten under your belt,the hybrid swap should not be that big of a deal to you. Depending on how much HP/TQ you wish to run,the KA might really be a great option. Its torquey low-end and mid-range is great for day-to-day traffic (Believe me! My first car was a hybrid SBC built by yours truly, and then a swapped 5.0 T-bird,Torque is nice.) If you put a properly sized turbocharger on the KA,you will proble loose some of the lower end of the TQ but have mad crazy mid-range and decent top-end. Boosted mid-range on a KA is really a nice way to go. Search for Aceinholes (IIRC,did I spell that right?) Posts about KA-Ts and search around. They can make very good power,it just all depends on what you want.
Cliff Notes: If you want swapped torque,get an RB series engine. If you don't want a hybrid swap,turbocharger the KA.
