Oh yeah, the ORIGINAL topic of this thread.
Kustom, statistically speaking, the SR20 has more torque, but the power band is a little higher.  You may not get as much of that "throw you back in the seat" feel as with your KA, but you will get just as much speed off the line.

Something few people have touched on is transmission.
The gearing makes a huge difference, its the way the gear ratios are set up that makes the engines feel different.  This is more something you feel or experience, than you can really get from numbers.
