i believe you can achieve the goal of 320 on NA rotors.. they do have a higher compression but 320 isnt an insane amount of HP...

you can fit TII rotors in NA housings, theres just a few things you should read before buying just any TII rotors... (i believe there are some restrictions but im not 100% on that).

try searching around - at this point every non turbo car has been turbo'd a million times over with a lot of documentation and advice

Talking about the psi you want to run is meaningless, if you don't also say what turbo you intend to use. If you're talking about the stock turbo, 320rwhp will never happen.

What do you intend to use for tuning? It needs to be something with both fuel and timing control, or the higher CR will lead to a blown engine. Check the FAQ for lots of information on building 6-port turbos, which will be similar since you're talking about using the NA rotors. But you should know that most of the power gains come from the ports on such builds, an not from the increased CR. Using NA rotors and TII irons will give you hardly any more power & lots more risk.
