go turbo... running on stock internals you get really good numbers if it is tuned correctly.

LS/vtec can make 200whp with the right setup, look into that.

LS turbo. With the proper setup and tuning, you can make over 300whp and beat the **** out of it daily

Yes, but that'll be quite a bit more expensive than going with a turbo, fuel and engine management.

NA - the expensive way to go slow.
