The BEAMS is seriously overrated from factory. On a very happy reading dyno (where my stock AP1 S2000 put down 210whp) a Redtop BEAMS with full exhaust and intake put down 149whp@6800rpms.

I was surprised by the low numbers, but 150whp seems to be about average for that engine stock:

Also, the BEAMS uses a lot of valve lift to get those bumbers: 10.5mm IN / 9.2mm EX, I can assure you the FA20 is nowhere near that aggresive given emissions fuel efficiency considerations.
