well the 20B is lighter than the F22/F20 for sure, but i can get one for $1800 (engine, intake manifold, turbo (changing that), throttle body, wiring harness, injectors, etc) and you can make way more power out of it than the F22/F20. With 11 psi you can be pushing easy 550rwhp. But if we mean to invest a lot of money why not do a 26B conversion? runs 9-10secs at 1/4 mile N/A! I need 50gs for that one, LOL. or combine two 13bs together a bit cheaper, more work, but possible. im really interested in the whole 20b, really unique anyone else thinks its a good idea?

I'm not saying it's the best idea in the world. But if you have the time and money, i'd like to see it done.

I know someone that is going to do a 20b swap. I can not say anymore than that because I promised to keep my mouth shut about it

If you have the funds, a 20B would be awesome.

It doesn't way that much and in NA form can produce 300+hp with the right port job.

If the power delivery and torque don't grab you, then the sound sure will. All in all, if you do this successfully, it will be an amazing car.
