they can easily get more power out of that engine but that causes more strain and since it's meant to go on a non-sporty car, there is no need for the expensive parts. it'sall about business not capability.

I wish they had made the FA20 a 2.5 by boring out the cylinders instead of trying to squeeze 200 hp out of the 2.0 by using a high compression ratio and sacrificing all the torque.

2.5 engine with 200 hp and 190 tq would make me very happy!
