from what ive heard, youll spend more trying to build an N/A engine than you would with a decent turbo kit...
but everyone has their opinions. id like to hear about the results you get...

Go to www.se-r.net click on 200sx and read threw the build up of the SCC 200SX SE-R that Mike Kojima did. Its an awesome series. You will learn alot. Also look at the enginer performance section. You can spend hours and hours on that site learning things. Iv probably read threw that whole site 5 times.

umm
i think the guy that said open header is bad is thinking with v8 on the brain.
headers are all you need in back pressure. you will not burn a valve on an *all-motor* honda running open headers. I used to run 12:1cr, to 9000rpms, open header all the time at the track on stock ITR valves. and your times will get better. I used to run 12.5@106 open header, i ran 12.7 with the exhaust on. (2.5" with a test pipe)
and dont knife edge the crank... it doesnt spin through the oil. the better aerodynamics of your crank and the weight savings are so miniscule they will not make a difference. the only thing you'll get from knife edging will be a weaker crank.

if you want to get high horse with a NA car go with a quad throttlebody setup with a very good fuel management system. on my 1.8 mirage it was quated a power gain of anywhere from 50% to 75% power increase over stock engine. If you get this you will need aolt of time to fine tune to get max horse.

Well most of you are right on...except for the turbo guy, the NO2 guy, and the guy with the V8 thingy (what the hell was he thinkin!)
But of all the great advise, all of you forgot to memtioned the MOST IMPORTANT thing...
MONEY!!!
But really, real power is very expensive no matter if you are a V8, turboed, or just good ol fashion N/A.
Pick a HP goal, do some homework, talk to some REAL engine builders, then break out the cash.
