We are hoping by the end of the year.

Keeping the compression around 12.5:1 will make it tough on pump gas. We will be experimenting with higher compression pistons in the future.

Have you guys heard any word about aftermarket cams for the FA20?

Not yet, We can get some custom grinds but they will be spendy.

i will be going with a bolt on turbo kit first and be upgrading the turbo/internals down the road so timing should be great!

Too early to tell how these modifications will be applicable

With the DI setup a 10.5:1 or even 11:1 setup might work well with pump gas and ~400 WHP. The 9.5:1 seemed like a big jump to me to. But I'm guessing these will be for EXTREME setups.
