God I can't stand this hating man, some people just want to talk about an NA KA because that is what they want! I still run my relatively stock KA and I personally ALWAYS rather have an NA motor over a turbo motor if I could have my pick. Why? Throttle response, linearity, sound. No one will ever convince me that a any turbo motor sounds better than the best NA motors. Carrera GT V10 is pure sex. Any Ferrari V12? Aston V12? Have even heard the Mazda 787b? Those motors sounds so pure and passionate, something that turbo motors are robbed of and cannot recoupe. No turbo motor can come near to the sound of a finely tuned NA intake.
That said, if I decide that i want more power I will go the KA-T route because I like the motor for it's torque and robustness. With the intercooler mounted behind the radiator and a good ball bearing turbo you can almost forget about turbo lag, and I would not aim for anything over 300hp. I am happy with my motor right now though, and with the new timing set (got a twin cam, I suggest you pull the motor for it...) it runs beautifully. How I will miss that intake note one day though.
