one very important thing to keep in mind is what kind of fuel is being used. the K20 requires premium, while the Ford, Toyota, and Subaru engines i used all run on 87 octane. i will happily pay for premium if the performance lines up with the K20 as opposed to the others.
This motor will definitely run on premium to get the compression and ignition that is required to make torque numbers anywhere near what we are talking about. Still I don't see torque getting much higher than 150 lb-ft at around 4500-5500 rpm.
