With 5:1 gears the 12000rpm redline or whatever still presents a huge increase in top speed per gear + much more acceleration available.
The FA20 pretty much can't hit those power levels no matter what you do to it while keeping NA. Sure superchargers add great power but this engine not only adds power, it probably slashes weight off the front end too, which is important.

No, I get it. I'm just looking at this engine with cost vs benefit in mind and for $30k, I could build one hell of a FA20 (na or turbo/sc).
