The FA24F is a low compression, direct injection only, turbo engine. It brings it torque and power on way down low in the rev range and is for all intents and purposes a truck engine.
The FA24? is a high compression, direct and port injection NA engine. It brings it's torque and power in at high revs and should be a very nice sports car engine.
The FA24? should work really well on E85 but looking for 300-400HP out of it with a tune and some bolt on's is very optimistic.
What they can do to the one doesn't mean much when compared to the other.
OH and they were running 22PSI on that
heavily modified FA24F to get that 500HP. Try doing that on an engine with a 13.5:1 compression ratio and you will be finding parts of the block and rods for several blocks around you!
