"lets face it the 4AGE is not exactly a performance based engine from the factory now is it"

Take a look at the specs of a Cosworth BDA 1600cc and see the similarities.
Same bore/stroke
Same valve sizes
Same port sizes & shapes on the small port head.

True enough the stock inlet manifold on the 16v is not very good, but something like a 20v inlet manifold isn;t hard to fit. I've done it.

If you want to talk facts, then here's a couple. Two engines like the 2T-G and 4AGE, the four valve engine wins every time because of the much better breathing they inherantly have. Look at a Formula Atlantic engine, they're up around 240hp - how many 1600cc 2T-G's have you seen with anything like that power?
The shim over bucket set-up isn't the best either, but it's enough to run some fairly large cams, eg, I ran 288° and 0.290" lift no probs at all. I think I ran it up to 9,000rpm a couple of times too. Stock bottom end and stock valve gear on that engine!

"Even pushrods cater for more performance"

Not even with the greatest stretch of the imagination is that possible!

"This thread is not intended to start a mines better than yours type discussion"

How else would you compare two different engines??
I started fiddling with 2T-G's in 1984 - 18 years ago - and after working with the 4AGE I wouldn't even consider looking at the old two valve engine again.
