If you check ClubRSX just bolt ons, Intake, Raceheader, Exhaust the K20Z1 05+ RSX-S's are making 200-205 whp. The K20A2 making around 190 whp with the same mods.
Another big advantage the K20Z1 has over the K20A2 is the addition of carbon synchros and the JDM Type R Final Drive, which comes in at 4.77. The Final drive makes a HUGE difference. If both the K20Z1 and K20A2 were to be modded to equal hp, the K20Z1 will pull hard on the K20A2 due to the final drive, its been proven on ClubRSX.

I'm Not saying that The K20A2 is King, believe me I know a that the newer motor was better, not specifics as you have informed, and thus is good to know. I was thinking somewhere down the line of changing to the new SI tranny (LSD)!! But to say the least, the amount of WHP out of any K20 Fit with K-pro should be extremely fun and Still worth doing regardless of which motor you find! I saved money on getting the A2 and the savings I can spend on mods! But for now my concern is etting this thing in and running for now! Should be one month to 1.5 months!
Stay Tuned!

I was thinking about adding metal to the bottom of the frame and bolting it to it in a straight line along the length of the frame rail to add ridgidity.
I have smoothed the hole and rustproof'd it as of yesterday, I will take pics later.

Progress Group has developed a slew of things for the K20 Fit. (they HAD the Hasport Fit for development of parts)
Progress Rear sway bar to keep the back on track! (GOt that already)
Progress Coilovers (Not out yet)
I have a Front Strut Tower bar by GTSpec.
That's it for now, I think that will be suffecient.
