nah its a perfectly good mistake dude. but n/a means naturally aspirated. which means it is all motor hp with no power adders such as s/c turbo, nos.etc.

a good basic starting motor would be a 306, 331, 347. nice forged internals. heads cam intake. a good crate shortblock and a trickflow or edelbrock h/c/i package on top.70mm tb, 75 or 76mm maf, 24lb injectors, and 190lph furl pump. thats a good setup if youre doing it all at once.
