yeah but ANY V-8 will have more tq @ idle than a rotary will have @ 3500k

the sheer low end (by comparison) power of the LSX compared to the wankel mill will completely change the persona of the fd.

the swap should be sick when tuned well. even if it's good for 450hp/400tq it'd smoke 80% of the rx7's on the road let alone most c5's.
