Go N/A for what purpose? You will NEVER get the power from an N/A build that you do from a boosted engine.

First of all, your questions are to broad. What type of track do you want to go to? What comp ratio are your cp pistons? If you have this sleeved ls block why not just buy low compression pistons and boost that? If you are undecided I can guarantee that we will be of no help without more information.

The cp pistion I have are 9.1 . The local track we have 1/4 mile and we have full Circuit track. The problem from deciding is that I didn't drive the car that much since I breaking stuff. I was just wondering, if it would be fun to have a na car for drag since the car weighs 2600 ponds. Pretty much a all rounded car to everything .

build the sleeved ls if you want to drag race it. 2600 lbs is still a good bit of weight for an NA car to move.
