What kind of power are the N/A SVX guys making?

I've been thinking of starting a new project, and I'd love to make good power without going turbo. Thinking around 250whp would be nice for now. I figure that would require some intake mods, exhaust mods, and tuning. But is 250 possible without heavy mods?

I'm not afraid of going turbo, I just would rather stay N/A, at least for the time being.

For those who DID go turbo, did you change your compression ratio? If I went this route, I'd think 8.5:1 or 9.0:1 would be pretty nice. It'd still spool really quickly based on displacement alone. I'd think a GT30-76 would be a pretty nice match for quick spool and the ability to make 300whp, but I've got MUCH more experience dealing with turbos on EJ20's and EJ25's.

I want to steer clear of turbo/supercharged setups simply because of the lack of air-flow for proper intercooling. I can work around that if I have to, but I'll cross that bridge when I get to it.
