It's all about preference. If he's a fan of FI, than N/A won't do it for him. Or vice versa...
I was debating the same scenarios myself, as I just blew my bottom end recently. My decision was swayed by the fact that I had bought a bunch of "goodies" for my N/A LS1, that can be put to use in a bigger motor. Whereas if I wanted to go FI, I would need to start from scratch and get new heads, new intake, etc...
I'm going with the N/A Iron 418cid LQ9 build. This can put my heads, intake/tb, etc... to good use, plus be a nice increase in power output. Mine is going to be a DD for awhile too.
Planning for around 11.4:1 SCR
