That sounds awesome...but why spend so much when you could supercharge for probably 1/3 of the price?

Good question. It's a specialty item no doubt, so the only way to find out is to ask I suppose. Being that it's not built for the Fit specifically, it may not even be a good match for it. Plus, at ~118hp, you could probably buy a stock GE Fit L15 for much cheaper for almost exactly the same power output, though w/o the durability/response of the tuned engine.

Because you won't have the long-term durability that it would provide. Or probably the response either as well.

you can make a forced induction car just as reliable.

Reliable sure, but I said durable. These engines are made for continuous high-rpm use over entire race seasons. Slap a SC onto a stock L15 and run it the same way and you'll have a worn lump w/i a year. Ichiro from Noblesse had to sleeve the stock block on his tuned NA engine after about a year's time of racing and daily driving because of the wear from constant high-rpm running. Of course, you can build up a FI engine to be just as durable, but then at that point NA or FI makes no difference b/c you have to build it either way.

The point with these Toda engines is that they're not built to make power so much as they're built up to withstand the rigors and abuse of racing, plus they probably tune them to be more suitable for the chassis they're going to be dropped into.

As for the sound, go up a few posts and click the link for the video I posted. You'll hear them just fine.

No price yet? I guees super FJ racing is the only class of racing where the pace car is prolly faster and more powerful? I think the motor would be nice to use a crooked drag/Gymkhana powerplant that would also be good as a reliable street motor to.
