Any guess on what a 4.5L N/A build would put out? If it indeed comes to be that a built shortblock isn't going to put out more than 350whp then I might just go with an N/A longblock.

You would be the first dude! Why don't you make it happen and we can all find out.

I know you don't want others to say ,"Just go turbo or sc" so I am going to appologize ahead of time.

Yeah I think if it was a v8, going N/A would not be a crazy idea; but, its not a TORQUEY v8. But insted a somewhat refined v6. It only makes sence to go in the ways of boost. hahahaha plus its just much funner.....

Edit: I can't believe I just said funner
