#246278 they love to be boosted!

If you're not going to go the boost route, just do an intake, header & exhaust. Once you get past those, you're better off investing into a turbo setup to get your best bang for the buck.
A powerful N/A build will be expensive and not get you anywhere near the hp per $ that you would get if you boosted instead.

As long as the motor has been taken care of ... yes.
