Here's some good reading to get you started.
The other thing to think about is how much power you really are comfortable with. With full bolt ons and a tune, 330 whp is still a lot of go, especially if you get the suspension dialed in and can drive. It's not a number you'll brag about, but it's not slow at all. Swap out the rear end gear, and you've got a very quick car. 450+whp is a whole different animal. It will require serious respect. If you mat the throttle when you shouldn't, it'll throw you off the road backwards. It's a lot of fun, but you've got to be paying attention at all times. And some of the compromises you'll make for the power will make the car suck as a commuter. The clutch you'll need will be a pain in traffic, for one. It's all a trade-off.

Thanks for the link. I'm all for respect. I don't get careless with things I don't fully understand. hence all the questions. I'm not looking to brag but I do want fun. 500whp is something I would be more than happy with and comfortable with. I don't think I even need/want that much. 450whp is good for me too as far as being comfortable. That's why I wanted to go NA because I really dont have a need for big gains. I just wanted a durable motor but it cost a fortune. And I may have misunderstood durability as far as cars go. I was thinking that any FI you NEED forged internals. I was wrong. Now FI seems cheaper and my motor doesnt need to be THAT durable for my ideal of power. I purchased an ATC clutch (street) and pressure plate but thats just because I need one. will I need an upgrade to that if I do take the FI route? And understood about the trade off...i'm def starting to see that
