That's quite a statement from the shops. I am looking forward to what this platform will look like in another few years to see if these claims are valid.

It's a bit early yet but I'm betting the FA20 gains rockstar status someday. 400whp on stock internals is pretty freaking impressive after a few months of tinkering. Even the Ej207/Ej257 would struggle to do that and there are decades of development for those. There is a shop aiming for 450whp today from what I last read.

And really, I'd be happy with ~200whp. Guess my motor is going to last forever looking at how far people are pushing it with FI.

This. It makes me feel all cozy.

You can draw any sort of line you want through one data point. Lets not start singing the praises of this engine until it has survived years of testing. A few cars and kits on the internet does not make as bulletproof as you are ready to claim.

Wait for data, then make your proclamations.

Visconti--here's the dyno graph you were looking for. 5psi on the Bullet Sprintex Supercharger kit + conservative ECUTEK tune. They have run a few thousand miles already and it runs fine.
