It looked like the engine seriously overpowered the chassis and the heavier front end (both used old, iron block V8s) seemed to upset the weight balance. That said, both were early test drives of the cars in question so I'm sure there was a lot of dialling in to go but I've always felt like a high output NA V6 would suit our cars better.

I beleive for all the people who ask why? This is just common sense! The frs/brz/86 was never designed to be high horsepower! It was about a great car that drove great! Even adding a aluminum v8 adds a couple hundred pounds! Why would you even want to do this to your car if you truly love what the car represents! Hell I personally would love to keep the fa20 if the power was better! So the only way to maintain balance is to find a engine that compliments the chassis and what it was meant to be. Yes the v6 might not be perfect but I think it's one of the best choices! Both power and balance plus the redline is 7200 so it almost identical to the fa20 in that respect too. As for the supercharger like I stated earlier that's added weight with a worst torque band! Turbo to much weight too and boost lag!
