They're highly strung, high revving, 12.5:1 comp on rod bearings that are dying to spin.

Doesn't exactly stop me from hitting the track but I don't know why the wife puts up with me or the car.

If I had to do it again I would either get a used 15+ for cheap now ($12k) and leave it NA and spend minimally for e85/headers/tune/tires, swap in a 2J / LS or get a Cayman S.
every built fa20 you know of has popped? I just had one built and your scaring me now lol..
