4agze has got a lot of torque. But with induction, it's also less revvy.
20v has got a lot of potential, especially up top.
The group A 4age 20v engine does exist. It was built by TRD, and redlines at 11k.
The good news is that its FREE!!!!!
The bad news is that you have to be some acclaimed racer or drifter to recieve it as a gift. Such as the drift king Keiichi Tsuchiya. These engines are once offs, and are in very small numbers (i've only heard of like 3 so far).
I don't know how the ae101 silvertop compares to a group A, cause I've never driven one (or ever hope to). But I could tell you that silvertops don't redline at 11k. Or do I suspect it to be robust and well tuned as the group A (obviously).

On an interesting note...
Drift king Keiichi Tsuchiya for most of his career favoured a panda levin with a group A silvertop. Sometime in the 90s, he retired the car and recieved a blacktop kouki trueno from TRD.
Now, one would have to wonder what happened to that levin?
All we know is that Bunta keeps disappearing to secret meetings. And also, bunta has got some pretty hardcore racing friends (how else did he get the engine?)
We also know that Bunta receives a phone call from MR Tsuchiya too.
initial D was based sometime during the 90s when the Tsuchiyas levin was retired. By the time takumi had a group A in his car, Tsuchiya already had that blacktop trueno. Remember on christmas day when takumi went to the mag shop? that white trueno on the front cover of that option magazine was the drift king and his new car.
so yeah..... the origins of takamui's group A is no longer a mystery. Takumis group A is the greatest drift engine, and used to be owned by the greastest drifter of all time
this is my theory anyway..
heheh too much time on my hands i think
