All the NA cars I've seen are usually just bolt ons, not a full build in my book. Is it going to take a lot of money? Heck yeah it will, but whether it is worth it or not is strictly down to the owner of the car in question. Who knows what can be done until somebody tries it. Also, if you get done building the engine and it doesn't make the power wanted you could still slap on a TT and know that your internals are strong enough for a bit of boost. The biggest reason there isn't a proven route with NA is because most (ok nearly everyone) people go the easy route with a TT/SC (not saying it is necessarily easy, just easier than a fully built NA setup).
