I hate to bring it up, but remember DUY's old car? Stock, head, cams, and intake manifold... run 10's (w/N2O)
and there is an N/A 240 on this board (guy named Aries...) with 205 whp N/A, no changes to the internals.
With enough time, and money theoretically Anything is possible.

There is a big difference between seen or heard and done. I said 450 wheel hp, that is way more than 400 hp. I am not sure for how long either, high boosted KA's seem to have long term head gasket problems even when o-ringed. Block integrity is an issue also with lots of boost.
I find 205 wheel hp NA with no internal mods just about imposible to belive. Do you know exactly what the motor has on it? I would really like to know. Would Aries care to comment on his motor, I would like to learn some more on how he did it. I am struggling to make over 160 wheel hp with bolt ons and that is a huge disconnect between 160 and 205. Knowing the motor it does not seem posible, but hey, I am down to learn a few things, I don't know everything there is to know.
When it comes down to it, like I keep on saying, the KA is a good motor, very streetable and pleasent when turbocharged but the SR is better when building for maximum power output.
