i went NA because of fuel economy and travels. however, $$3k worth of NA crap just gives you squat but maybe it's because i have an automatic...
i'd go turbo if i were you, just hoard up all the right parts and slap them on all at once. cheaper and better but beware the 93 fuel.

well if it is boost then yes
if its NOS = higher octane needed
t/c = higher octane needed
s/c = higher octane needed
hell some cams = higher octane needed

Personally, I don't think 5K is an awful lot to dump into your car to have a 200whp N/A beast.
So far, I have an AEM Cold Air, R-Side 4-2-1 headers, and Motoria catback exhaust. My future mods will most likely be a BBTB (don't know what size yet, preferably a 68mm one, because that's what the airram is) and AIRRAM (it does wonders apparently, even on automatics), maybe some high-lift 272 cams, and ECU tunning.
First off, I doubt the setup above would reach 200whp. But it would be around 170-200bhp, no? Take a look at the Sentra Spec-V SE-R.. it is rated at around 170bhp.. however dynos proves it only puts out 140 to the wheels.
An N/A Tiburon with I/H/E will already be putting out close to that kind of power. (120whp stock +15-20 from mods) Add in an airram, BBTB, cams, and pulleys (which I dont trust BTW) and you are easily above 140 at the wheels.
Keep in mind guys, the Tib is a light motherf***er. It's only 25XX pounds!
PS. I wonder how an all out N/A Tib sounds? Probably like a BEAST
