Hello everyone

I was just wondering what the max hp can be made naturally aspirated or if it would cheaper to supercharge.

Any help is appreciated

2 or 4 valve?

Way too many variables here but generally 325 NA on a stock 2v block, 450 blown stock.

Welcome... I'm still pretty new myself, but from what I have read, you best bet is to get a blower. These motors respond very well to FI. As far as NA goes, the old saying still holds fairly true... No replacement for displacement.

Dosen't mena you can't have a beast for NA, but cost wise, boost is the way to go.

Cheaper will be supercharger. It is a larger chunk of change up front but if you price it all out its close to a wash and you will still be limited.

You could spend twice as much on an NA set up and just get over 300whp.
