Benefits of NA
Alright.. im seriously considering a supercharger kit but for 8k installed i wanted to see what my other options where.. How much money would it cost to get 350whp (around there) NA? I know its a dumb question but i had some things in mind.
I/H/E/Tune/Stroker Kit/and a better pully kit... Then later when my engine has a shit load of miles i'll just rebuild it. I can get a 2.4 kit for just under 2800. Not bad compared to the 8k a supercharger would be after all the parts needed and install.

Really I don't think there's really anyone documented even over 300HP NA. There are some that claim but I'm not sure it exists.
If you want straight line or street power go Turbo or SC. The bang for the buck is far better than NA.
The only reason to go NA is if you want better reliability for track driving(not strip). For lapping session and real track driving NA can be faster than a FI car with 50HP more. It also is usually significantly more reliable than FI on the track because the temps are lower.

FI runs quite a bit hotter...
Ouch!....
By posting this topic, I'm not trying to poke fun at this guy for not being NA and having such a horrible incident, but perhaps it is a good example of a reliability issue.

Slowly and over time i think that NA although it would take longer and more money to get to 300whp the reliability issue is really a huge factor to me.
I heard that intake, toda header, and exhaust +reflash make a great mod.
im also looking into 4.44 gears but my research isnt done yet. Anyone have any experience with them?
intake/header/exhaust/gears/and a tune= might be all i need for now.

i could hit 300 at least with less than the cost of the SC. SC it is then.
You can definitely get 300HP with NA, but definitely not with just I/H/E and electronics.

V8 swap?
Ya if you're building with a specific power goal like that in mind, FI is going to be much much easier.
Some quality bolt-ons, a good tune, and some gears will definitely wake up your car, but it won't be the same as 400+ BHP.

8K for SC is expensive even with AEM/Kpro ECU
You'll need a 2.7 Stroke kit from Inline + bottom-end + ECU + bolt ons to get to 300 crank.
2.4 will get you to maybe 260-270.
Get the SOS kit + Flashpro and you'll be good
