Nice motor, just not a balance for our car. I would much rather go F/I to acheive the same horsepower without giving up all of our cars handling..

A fully dressed F20C weighs in at about 350lbs, the typical turbo/sc kit weighs in at about 100lbs (assuming a FMIC or AC is used). So, ~450lbs.
A fully dressed LS1/LS2 weighs in at about 480lbs.
Both of these setups can make anywhere from 400-600hp and the V8 can make double the torque, where has the handling gone?
