Alright well i was going off the manufacturer's numbers as i've never seen dynos and i've only ever driven an ap2. I remember f20c vs f22c was perpetually debated in the s2k community. Still, the f22c is also very much a high revvy engine that doesn't wake up till around 4500rpm so i have a hard time imagine it being that huge of a difference. Not saying it's not there, i know it has a different character unlike the twins' measley intake changes, but it's still a similar engine. But once again, i've owned an ap2 but never driven an ap1. regardless, neither is a full model change.
