^This.

I really appreciate the dyno chart comparison that Deslock posted earlier in the thread, it gives us a good contrast as to just how much low end + mid range power the FA20 is giving when compared to another well built 2.0 liter engine (ie the K20). Even so, I still can't but help imagine how much better it would be if Toyota/Subaru were to add variable lift + duration! That is, considering it's going to stay NA.
