I'll leave this up for a while, but I think I had best avoid anything involving a turbo at this point in my rotary learning curve, I talked to my rotary-building friends (who got me into them) and my 13.0:1 AFR idea was heavily ridiculed. (I still want to try it though). I was also told that 500 WHp with a GT37 is possible but not easy.

Basically, Turbocharging a gasoline engine is a whole new world for me. I have been made to know that if I want to keep my engine intact, I need to stay NA. I originally built this engine to blow up, but now that it has promise of making power, I am thinking that I want to keep it running.

They had also heard rumors of a 275 WHp streetported 4-port NA build using a custom intake manifold, but I still can't find it on the internet.

I appreciate C. Ludwig questioning my overly-optimistic hopes, as that raised a question in my mind which prompted me to run the idea past my friends.
