these are numbers are exciting but I seriously doubt that the stock engine is going to last day in day out at this level

we saw the same thing on the EJ25 (subaru WRX) when it 1st came out everybody jumped on the bandwagon, piling in the boost on the stock engine, the dyno queen power figure jumped from 280 to 350 to 450 to 500 and then the 'BANG' started happening to these guys who had been running around on their 'safe' tune at 500bhp after several thousand miles with cracked blocks etc



these days the ambition is more realistic with 350-400 seen as the sensible max for a stock block

I wonder where the Fa20 will settle out at? as I feel we're still in the exciting area before it all starts going 'BANG'
