Our engine doesn't make that much power, but it sure tries hard!

For sure when you look at the HP/L the FA20 is impressive. It would love to see them bump it to 2.4L. The FA24 has the same stroke but bigger bore. This would give more valve area so theoretically with the right heads and valvetrain you could sling it faster than the FA20 and make more power while keeping the mass very close if not identical to the FA20. I'd much rather see this vs add the turbo that everyone always screams.
