GSX = fwd with a little rwd assist.

When looking at tranfer case hear attached to the flywheel you can clearly see that's its impossible for a GSX to have a 50/50 torque ratio. From looking at the gears I'd say more like 80/20 if even that.

the 4G63 is very similar to an SR. Almost a square motor, DIS, beefy. It has just as much if not more potential than an SR. I've seen a 1st gen run into the 12's on a stock block/head 4G with (believe it or not) the stock 14b. Incredible!

However when looking at both motors side by side you'll notice that the SR is a little bit better built. Connecting rods are a little beefier crank is a little bit bigger.

Personaly I feel the newer mitsu's make better show cars than all out track machines. Although I love Diamond star motors and all the things they are capable of. I will say that well set up 240 w/ SR/KA-T will out perform an equally set up DSM in every way, including looks
