Yeah and no low-end torque. Take a look at the F20C and FA20 tested on the same dyno:
This is why I'm surprised people are complaining about the FA20's torque dip. Would people rather have no low-end torque to eliminate the first peak?
Compared to the F20C, the FA20 is a little torque monster.
EDIT: Just to clarify, the F20C was a technological marvel for its time and showed what VTEC + 9k redline could accomplish. But the dyno chart also demonstrates what makes the FA20 impressive. 100 hp/L, but with good low-end torque.
