So um, how's that working for you, considering that EVERYTHING about a high performance VTEC motor that makes them require low boost is also present in the FRS, except for the giant VTEC lobes which are part of the reason those motors generate astronomical power numbers on low boost pressures...

Not to mention the simple fact that the good VTEC motors have forged internals from the factory and can support some ridiculous power numbers. There are hundreds of high horsepower stock bottom end VTEC motors. There's one stock FA20 generating incredible horsepower numbers.

Don't put the FA20 on a pedestal.
