naturally aspirated and normally aspirated mean the same thing..all it means is that there is not any kind of forced induction on the car,(i.e. it doesn't have a turbo, or supercharger), the engine sucks air in by it's own vaccum and the air is not forced into it like forced induction engines

I would have to say Naturally Aspirated; just because a Normaly Aspirated car could mean turbo because if every model of that car had a turbo, then it would be Normal. I'm just saying tho ...

What about forced induction... I heard forced induction some places before. I guess they mean somehting with a turbo or a supercharger? and could i just slap on a supercharger instead of a turbo on my 1988 GXL

You could even slap a pair of ***** on your RX-7 for enough money. Think about how jealous those Honda boys would be when they saw the **** on your car.

Quick power eh? Exhaust, street-port, and n20. Also, remove stuff you don't need. I have no air pump, air conditioning, spare tire, sound proofing.

Neither a supercharger nor a turbocharger would be cheap horsepower. Both require ECU and fuel system upgrades, not to mention the actual hardware.

Dollar for dollar, no upgrade will put out the horsepower as a well tuned nitous oxide system. The are are few kits offered for the RX-7, starting at around $500.
Posi will not drop your 1 second, and is quite expensive.
