Your post I originally quoted stated the Genesis 2.0T was a better choice. My point was that with roughly the same horsepower (if the FT-86 stays true to the original concept horsepower of 200-210) and the Genesis being anywhere from 300-500 lbs heavier, I sincerely doubt that the 2.0T is quicker than the FT-86 will be. As for tuning potential, I don't know if the Gen 2.0T is at the top of its tuning potential already -- I'm supposing you could add boost, but I'm not sure what a tune would for it. In any event, in general, given two similar motors -- which they really won't be that similar -- with similar HP one being turbo the other being NA, the turbo probably has an easier way to get a few extra HP by adding boost, but in general the NA motor has the higher potential for higher HP gains -- after all you could put a turbo on the FT-86.
