Is it NA if you change the fuel? Well, the same effect could be replicated perfectly by adding nitrous to the fuel at the fuel injectors. That's the difference. It is basically a different, more combustible addition to the fuel supply.

Here's one more thing to seal it..
Natural ASPIRATION
It does not matter what is breathed in during the ACT of breathing. The word Aspiration does not cover that. Forced induction is the opposite of Natural Aspiration. Forcing air down the engine's throat is not Natural Aspiration. Don't confuse Boosted and Forced Induction.
Adding Nitrous to the aspiration does not change the fact that it's naturally performing it's act of breathing in. It's boosted because of the additonal fuel and oxygen, and it's naturally aspirated because of the fact that it's performing the act of breathing as it always does.
