Before deciding on an engine, decide what you want from the car, then go for the engine that will deliver the closest to what you want to end up with...
I'm interested in a 20V also, but after looking into it, for shear power, poeople seem to choose he GZE for obvious reasons. For every day driving, Ive chosen to go with the 20V.
As for noticing the power difference, compare my 4A-C AE82 (55Kw, claimed from the factory... no where near after 17 years!), the 20V will have double the power at the flywheel(110-115Kw or there abouts, dont belive claimed factory figures) it will still only be droping similar amounts throught the drive train, (4A-C 34Kw at the wheels, 20Kw drop) thus giving nearly 3 times the power at the wheels (110 minus 20 gives 90Kw aprox). While this is a very rough way of looking at it, you still end up with quite a noticeable difference at the wheels! For a GZE, it would be an even larger difference give that the GZE has much much more torque.
You are right in saying that the 20V performes better higher in the rev range.
As for the LSD, i belive that the C series FWD Corolla gear box is one of the most expensive to get an LSD for!
As for weather it is all worth it, that really depends what you want from the car... for me, the 20V conversion will be worth it.
Craig.
