Those of us that genuinely want to retain this engine as N/A, isn't because we don't want more power per se, it's because we like the response, purity, and simplicity of natural aspiration. That doesn't make boosted setups wrong for others, it's simply reinforcing our desire to have an specific machine interaction as man-machine oneness.

If you want to garner the respect of the N/A crowd, competently develop an ECU flash with control of both fuel injector sets, spark, and cam phases. Work on intake and header tuning, and camshafts. If you want to get into cylinder head tweaking, by all means, go for it.

Every time I see you post this it makes me wonder why you never bought an Elise over your Exige since you could've had a cheaper car that's lighter and N/A. And in the Elise a N/A engine in a 1975 lb car is even more beneficial than it is in a 2750 lb car. Just saying.
