I'm guessing that he's putting down roughly 500-550whp. So probably something along the lines of a GT35, ~25psi.

I miss Austin...

The K20 head flows really well, so I doubt any porting or polishing. So the usual cams, maybe springs and retainers. I would guess a stronger bottom end... rods and pistons. While it maybe be possible to make that power on the stock bottom end, I doubt it'd last long. I'd guess the stock intake manifold too.

But that motor doesn't need anything exotic really. People are making 240whp NA with just the usual NA mods. More highly prepped K20s are making 300whp NA.
