THAT'S a powerful N/A!

Yes but that a tuned extremely low volume track car
The Ford Duratec 2.0 made 143Hp in regular form.
Your point is moot. There is no comparing a tuned engine to a stock engine. If you want to make that agurement there are many tuned s2k making 300+HP NA

have you driven many cars with the K20Z3? it's a very fun engine.

I have driven a CSX type R as well as the new civic Si and this engine does nothing for me tho that could be cause I've driven a K20A RSX type S and that is a much much much better engine.
My bad I shouldnt say its the blacksheep of K engines but I deff think its the worst out of the high preformance Ks (K20A, K20Z1, K20Z4 etc) hell even the older K20A2 I thought had a better feel to it than the K20Z3. Just my personally opinion however tho the K20A is easily the best in my mind.
