i mean, you can spend a bunch of cash on internals, but by the time you get the power you were looking for you will have spent enough money to buy a k20. id go with turbo if i were you.

some high compression pistons, n/a rods, stage 3 crower cams, retainer/spring kit, full exhaust, aem ems, etc. ,etc. and a good tune. wont be as fast as forced induction and only one person has done it so far to my knowledge.
