If I wouldn't have been already mid-LS-swap I would highly consider doning my car for this swap.

I understand having a different point of view is not hating, but it sounds like hating when someone refers to the FA20 as not a real engine or is silly. It’s triggering considering how much flack this engine constantly gets for not having enough power, and now apparently it is silly for just being a flat four. It gets old.
In light of wanting to double the factory horsepower, yea, the engine can’t take it reliably without a build. If thats the measure of a real motor then few motors are real motors. If all flat motors are silly then Subaru and Porsche have silly motors.
