Big learning curve people and companies could build off of. No other company besides gtm a and cj motorsports are even interested in the NA market. But I don't blame them when you can spend the same amount of money for a TT kit and make close to 700 whp. I just prefer a screaming NA MOTOR over forced induction.

Shamu hit that mark on a built 4.0 on E85, but it was a full race motor. Not something you could run on the street. 1Slow was fairly convinced he's need to open up the block to push his setup any farther than he already had.
Driver may have a lot to do with it, but all things being equal, the car with 50-100 extra foot pounds of torque is the faster car.
Last I checked, CJM was working on a manifold that would really only be a benefit for the boosted guys. From his own thread, he didn't expect a huge jump in power on a NA motor. And GTM will never be a viable source for anything as long as Sam is running the show.
There's just not enough people who mod 370s to justify something like this from a R&D standpoint. There's not enough of a market for it to be a good use of resources as a vendor. Unless you jump in there yourself and figure it out as you go, you'll end up waiting a long time for someone to blaze a trail for you.
