my advice... keep the f22, beef your internals, and boost the **** out of it. an f22 can handle FI way better than the H22 and a good turbo kit should give you more gains than a engine swap if tuned correctly.
You realize what you just said right?
let's re-cap.
1) If you have a h22a, yes it's a stock engine but that's just like saying swapping in a 350 instead of a 305 is no difference.
2) If you are going to spend the money on CUSTOM (not popular) internals for a f22 and beef that up, why not spend the money on a swap and beef up those internals. A good turbo kit, not custom, is probably F-MAX and it willl probably run good 14's and that's just about what H22A's run. But have a good day
