There is simply no way that an FA20 with full bolt ons, supercharger and aggressive e85 tune is going to be anywhere near as bulletproof as a 100% stock honda engine.

Will the FA20 be decently reliable, sure, but it'll be in a whole different ballpark than something bone stock.

Personally I wouldn't bother with a honda V6. I'd either want a K20 (good for ~250whp easily without boost), or LSx. Not much point in swapping anything else IMO.
