Great response. You pretty much hit everything I was looking for. NA engine building is sort of a hobby of mine as I much prefer it over any forced induction option. I found the ITBs and the other NA options which yield gains and they of course look fantastic. I find it interesting that total timing is set by a screw of all things. Bosch had the sense with their motronic units in essentially making timing unadjustable unless the chip was changed, but I suppose there are benefits to both paradigms. 300rwbhp from 3.5L is not bad at all. A stock 355 typically rear wheel dynos at about 310-320 but the torque is just not there. A friend of mine owns Nick's Forza Ferrari website and his personal car is a bored 3.5L 2 valve 308 engine which makes exactly 300rwbhp with 260lbs tq and is a street motor. Don't ask what it cost! I suppose the same can be said for any high end NA build although some are more horrid to do than others. Nice to know Honda obviously has an excellent base to do this stuff with.
