You have ignored every fact posted and just made up what suits your argument.
1) The FA is not a better engine, if you are to dense to realize it's another engine then you really need help.
Let's put it this way what car has an FA Swap and went up in value? How many car's get an LS Swap and go up in value, almost all of them. Hell the same is becoming true of Coyote Swaps (That's Ford's 5.0 they offer a complete stand alone setup for any swap desired)
2) The FA has quite a few issues, just like the one this thread was started over concerning a cam issue that caused my failure, but it's ok you can over look that because it does not suit the argument you tried to suddenly walk in and make based off what someone else told you. (Not to mention the TSB's on issues regarding this)
3) When you start at 400+ it's easy to go higher and do so cheaply not to mention the reliability track record of the LS Series or even the Coyote Series. When you start at 200 and break with everything safe then yeah you have a problem. But hey it's the best engine ever!!!!!
4) I have worked on lots of different motors, doesn't mean I know shit about the FA20 or the new Evo motors or any others. Nor does it mean there is enough evidence out and trials with said "New" motor to prove just how well it is or is not built. That takes time and trials obviously of which you have not done.
5) Driver has a lot to do with handling power but if you are losing control of less than 200 at the wheels... then I am sorry but that is entertaining. Boosted I was not in a position where I felt my car could not handle what it was making. N/A Stroker I don't feel that way about my Vette but then again I know how to handle it and realize my gas pedal is not an On/Off Switch...
Really take some further time to think before you just run in all happy to post about something with magical numbers and way off base information. Some of it may have been covered, some of it may have even been dis-proven already and some of it may just be biased worthless personal opinion. Your whole post has reminded me of a moment from The Big Leboski "You're like a child who wanders into the middle of a movie and wants to know whats going on"

I have one major issue with this, and that is that no ls swapped car goes up in value... Sorry but no modified car is worth buying unless you personally know the previous owner. There are just too many variables and anyone with a brain will not pay more for a car that has a complete drivetrain swap unless they are made of money, stupid, or both. And that goes for any heavily modified car.
