The one thing you are forgetting is that typically an NA motor, especially a built NA motor, designed to rev really high has a high compression ratio. If it doesn't make the power you want you can't just 'slap' turbos on. High compression and boost aren't a good combination. You could put turbos on but wouldn't be able to run much boost. a built NA motor is different than a 'built' motor for FI.
