Yeah, simple as that. Boost, really, is bad, as it is just excess air being compressed against your engine. The idea then is to get your engine to use more air, more efficiently, so that you can produce the most power with the least boost. The problem comes from overdoing it, so that your engine becomes a pig of a thing that really struggles to get onto boost, and then wants to rev past 12 grand once it finally hits. The idea then is to find a balance, and also use tricks like variable cam timing etc., however the simple rule is to build the best NA engine you can (except for the high comp and high overlap cams), then add the boost.
