Well most upgrade the bottom end to make that HP when it comes to all motor. Unlike boost.

Ok usually in all motor you don't "HAVE" to upgrade your bottom end. However to mkae more power N/A you increase bore/stroke and raise compression by building the bottom end. As opposed to boost where it's mainley to handle the high HP Turbo's.

When people are boosting their motor, they usually build it to hold boost(alot more power). When people go NA, they usually build their block to make more power, not handle more power.
