In regards to the FA20. Its pretty clear that there are going to be some challenges for tuners wanting upwards of 350hp+. Which makes sourcing a block that can easily achieve those power goals more cost effective.
I know your post wasnt direct at me, but i want to respond to your post anyway. Iv owned several cars 400hp 300zxTT...350hp S14, 250hp rx7, and honestly im more and more wanting less power.
Im not sure it comes with age, but once you have a taste of power the feeling becomes so adolescent, and eventually you want more precision. (well thats what iv witnessed among my peers and myself) So you either opt for
a supercar that has both power and precision but at a higher cost or you opt for less power and precision for a lower cost. EG Miata
I myself am happy getting 200hp coming from 400hp. As long as the car responds like the wheels itself are an extension of you the driver, like arms and legs.

i guess my comment came off a bit childish, I'm also steeping down from power, I much rather have a well balanced car that can get me around corners, than a straight line killer.
