Further I think its funny how everybody loves to point out that the F22 is a great motor to turbo because of the low CR. But If i was gonna go FI (greater than 7 psi) on any motor the CR wouldn't matter because I would get new custom pistons with a CR of 9:1 along with new rods....

think about it...

you didn't read all the posts did you? you get more bang for your buck boosting a f22 vice swapping in an H22 and going NA from there. the h22 swap is about $3500-4500 depending on where you buy from. plus then you have to tweak it from there. with FI on an F22 you buy the turbo kit for about $2500-$3000 and the engine work for another grand and you have more than twice as much power than the H22 swap will give you for about the same price.
