anyway, gotta also understand that the F20C is made to produce horsepower. The FA20 is made to be sporty and livable. Key is where TQ is applied. FA20 scavenges amazing TQ at low revs and peaks again at 6400, while the F20C peaks its TQ at 7500.

If you try to apply the same mods as the F20C, as you would to the FA20, they will respond much differently to them. IMO, the brz/frs will perform much better with more peak hp for acceleration, and sacrifice some of that TQ.

truth, exactly why F1 cars have like no trq but all hp up top its about the cornering and use of the power rather than the trq. you dont want wheel spin you just want rotation increase
