Until the fuel costs catch up

EDIT: So for people who only want a tiny bump in power, continuing the discussion from the main thread in main forum, 200hp at 7000 is actually pretty pathetic considering what went into this motor. A better exhaust might be able to give a little more and if you don't mind the slight decrease in fuel economy, bigger cams would do some too. 215hp might be realistic considering how the torque is a relatively impressive compared to torque peak 148ft-lb at 7000.

And I am still betting a few years down the road there will be an engine update. I'm not getting a car anytime soon, still in college, but if I'm right I probably will go for said updated FT, well if nothing better comes out.
