You can use the search button to find out.

Or maybe this crazy new thing called Google.

People have tried NA KAs but never really got too much power out of them.

Big displacement/forced induction or go home.

Just build the block and put a turbo kit on there.

Building a NA KA won't net you nearly as much horsepower as a turbo KA. If you've had bad experiences with turbo's I'd chalk that one up to human error rather then mechanical failure. Do some research as mentioned by the po-man.

^ yup.... learn how to build engines with turbos... people do it well all the time.

This thread is just filled with so much win.

Did you even attempt to do any type of search, before posting this?

Get some headers.
My NA KA has bolt-ons and Im putting down close to 300 wheel horsepower. On pump gas.

And by close to 300 I mean like 130ish.

Oh, and I forgot. If you want to get as much power out of your KA as possible, here are 2 things you absolutely can't forget:

1. Make sure your headlight fluid, is filled to max capacity.
2. Check your muffler bearings. Bad ones will rob mad horsepower.

This guy can't even find the punctuation keys on his keyboard, you can't expect him to look for answers.
