I could be wrong but from what I have read, the general consensus is that the FA20 in NA form is very reliable but it becomes a problem when you start adding boost.
And maybe I am silly to think this but after watching the speed academy JRSC FRS, it kind of left me underwhelmed as their bolt on AP1 (F22c powered) kept up pretty good with it. Anyways, if I was planning to add power to this car, it probably wouldn't be a FA20.

Not to get off topic but I have been tracking a JRSC for the past 2 years @ 265hp, and its fast, but its nothing amazing. It is reliable until its not, blown valve seal and snapping belts is the biggest issue I've had but wouldn't want to push the motor much more.
