Well we only need to look as far as Hyundai's new engines that are naturally aspirated. They will all be derivatives of the EO1 2.0L. Less power for sure.
Actually Honda has the tech to produce a balls out version of their K series engines. The reason why they don't do it is because it needs to have some form of civility - daily driving, fuel economy and overall performance. A fully tuned 260bhp K series would more than likely suffer from a torqueless low to mid range and poor fuel consumption.
I figure the EO1 engine is very close to the kind of engines that Renault builds in their R26 cars. What specifics i'm not sure, but surely both those engines use continuously variable cam gears.
