Engine Build up
Ok I have a 01 GSR in my Delsol, it was JRSC'ed and I took it off, I was thinkin about goin turbo but, might go n/a, my set-up is AEM intake, Jacobs ignition and wires, Greddy Header, test pipe, 2.5 exhaust all way out w/ muffler, walbro HF fuel pump,
After I sale my charger(on ebay right now) I will have around $1800, to spend on my car, If I go N/A what could I do w/ that and power I could expect?

Go the N/A route, and I advise 84mm, 11.5:1 compression, you will haul ***!

what good is 11.5:1 without the valvetrain to match? so double that $1800
IMO jdm itr pistons and oem rings, check / replace bearings if needed, cams and springs and tuning. That should get you the most bang for the buck if you want to be strickly NA on $1800. That doesnt include labor either.

Not everyone needs to rev to 9K or higher right from the get go.
If the valve reliefs are sufficient, the it really shouldn't matter at all.
Besides the only valvetrain you would need are Springs and retainers.....that dont cost $1800 pal.
