Here's some food for thought. I plan on building my car N/T, but with parts athat cross the threshhold into turbo land. Forged 2.3 stroker 9.0cr, a spare head that I'm building, uprated oil pump (if I can find one), ACL bearings, ARP fasteners, etc....

When I'm done, and I get the car tuned on a turbo ECU and MAF w/ GM MAF-T and AEM EMS. The car will make some good power, and if I chose to do so, I could always do a turbo conversion, and the car could take it. But the car would hold it's own in N/T form.

And considering that I'm not looking to use anything bigger than a 20G, we won't be talking about a hard to drive N/T setup (well, that depends on your definition of hard to drive).

Edit: I forgot to mention that I'm driving a 93 2.0L N/T
