Everyone is chasing a certain power level there is no denying boost is the easiest way to get that.
NA builds above 75 additional HP start to get very expensive and head toward Race Car rather than powerful Daily driver weekend warrior especially with these LT with DOD lifters, and where the engine is glued together and the oil pump won't come off unless you pull the pan with pushes us in to total engine removal and tear down.
You can't just slide a cam in anymore.
Boosted build can have all the creature comforts at 200 RWHP higher than stock without pulling the heads.

Agree... when I talked to Lingenfelter several years ago they said that they sell the Magnuson kit 10:1 over their NA package. They said it's the same cost for more power and a lot more torque with no drivability loss and that is what most want. Most enthusiasts cannot do the work themselves based on not having the ability, tools, and/or space to do it. So, you have to factor all that in.
Over the weekend I was out at the last car meet of the year and there was a guy that has a built NA 6th gen. It's a 14:1, CID heads, GPI track attack cam, Hi ram, 4500 stall car. He said he very seldom drives it anymore. While it's fast, he claimed that it was no longer any fun to drive on the street. He wants to switch to a mild build with boost.
You have provided a wealth of information on this forum especially in the early days of 6th gen development. We had some good conversation years ago. Learned a lot from you and Pray.
