By the way for comparison, I already am running a 4AGE 20V silvertop, so would I feel the difference acceleration-wise?

Thanks!
BEAMS Red/GreyTop > 4AGE SilverTop.
Any BEAMS engine has WAY more power & torque when compared to 4AGE. I have raced against many Starlets & Corolla's with 4AGE Silver/BlackTop and beat them all by a huge amount....Oh and I have BEAMS RedTop in a ST184 Convertible Celica, which weighs about 10.000lbs more than Starlet....
