How Do i build my 420A and keep it N/T

[Smokeshow1721]

I want to make my 420A fast but i dont want to go with forced induction... Not Yet. I want to be different and the price for being different is high but the price of a Turbo kit is high also... Can any one tell me how i can make my car fast with out a turbo....

Dont plan on going fast without some sort of forced induction such as turbo or nitrous. You can make it a bit faster by building it up with higher compression pistons, but when you decide to go turbo you will have to rebuild it again and lower the compression back down to handle the boost. Figure out your goals now and plan it out the right way, the first time.

This will answer your question (original poster) and explain why the Natural vs. Forced debate always resumes afterward.

When you start to modify your 420A it goes something like this:
1. Intake
2. Exhaust
3. Header
4. High-flow Cat
5. UDP
6. Pulleys
7. Cam Gears
8. Cams
9. Throttle body
10. Light weight flywheel
11. more bolt ons, I could go on.

Then you build your engine with forges rods, high compression pistons, port the head, again, I could go on.

Then you want more speed than your <200 FWHP motor gives you and you've spent well over twice the price of a Hahn stage 2 kit and you can't even use some of the parts you bought (intake, header, pistons) with the turbo kit. Moral of the story, mod it "right" or mod it twice. If turbo is what is "right" for you, then you need to go ahead and do it. If you want to stay non-turbo, then that's fine to. Just keep in mind that you're car will be marginally quicker, but still slower than most, without getting the turbo kit. It is the only logical progression from "I want my car to be fast...How?" Do some research and ask some of the guys in the Non-Turbo section.

If you want my opinion, to reach your goal of fast you HAVE TO give in to the darkside. Boost it.

So true. I decided to keep my 420A n/t, it gets great gas milage, looks good, and well its reliable.

even the fastest all motor n/a 2gnt's dyno under 200whp. Just get a turbo or a nice shot of nitrous.
