200-210 at the wheels is gonna be pretty expensive for a KA...

Im building a NA KA and Im hoping for about 190 at the wheels. Forged high comp pistons, ($800 or so), dual exhaust cams, (cost me taco bell), fully rebuilt head and block, block will be be bored .030 over, new valves and springs (a couple hundred for all).

So total Ill be in about just over a grand for parts only, Im doing the block and head work myself so if you have that done thats at least another few hundred for that if you dont have access to machining equipment. Plus fuel management, ECU tuning etc. etc...

After that, Im hoping for 190-195 at the wheels. For over 200 expect to be looking ITB's, full standalone, and some where in the 3k range for around 200 whp.

It can be done, but turbo is gonna be alot cheaper and you can hit 250whp pretty easily...

EDIT: Also, search the forums a bit, this has been covered quite a bit. NA+KA= $$$$$ x pain-in-the-ass
