Hell, some people would regard even my engine as a pain in the ass to drive, if given the chance. High HP n/a engines are VERY twitchy. However, the only thing I think Jeff might be wrong on is that his HP gain estimates might be on the high side. The bottom line is this; if you want some real power, staying n/a is NOT a viable option.

i would say tuning a na motor on the street is a lot harder then doing a turbo motor, hands down. ive seen sentra guys running JWT C1 cams on the street......even with ecu mod's, lowest idle those suckers can keep is around 11-1200rpm.
NA ON THE STREET IS NOT THE BETTER OPTION(this is stated under the assumption that ur tryin to make some power)
its more of a, personal preferance. like personally me, i just love na, nothing can top screaming revs up to 8K rpms...or OMG HE SAID IT!!! VTEC is bad ass!!!! . i like small motors that rev. torque, blah blah blah, its what i like

10K can net maybe 300whp on a sr20de,
while u spend 10k on a det with all the trimmings....u can boost it to hell and make twice and proly not use the whole alotted 10k

but due to being a poor college student ...my super low miles 95 dock ka will be my toy
im thinking JWT C1 cams/valvetrain, ferrera valves rebuilt head. port matching of the manifold, removal of secondary butterflies, basic bolt ons, and AEM EMS. im looking to net maybe close to 190whp...id be happy as fuck.
