It's not that we (the aftermarket companies) don't want to develop out the FA20, it's just that there's no time to do so. Developing out a brand new, non-turbo motor that nobody has really done work on before doesn't just take a few week, much less a few months. Especially not right before a race season, where success absolutely demands a proven powerplant that the engineers and track side mechanics will know inside and out like the back of their hands.

But race builds don't equal street builds. If we were allowed to develop out street builds with 114 octane as the minimum requirement, well now....
