You can't compare the 2 motors that way. With the street racing FAD these days... of course the 3SGTE can walk all over the 4AG "out of the box"... but 4AG's NEVER were a high-powered motor to begin with... nor was that its real offer. If you've ever driven a 4AG powered car... they're a joy to drive. The motors scream (even though they don't generate any excessive power... it sure feels like it)... It's just fun watching the tach jump from idle to 7800 within a second and again back to 7800 a few seconds after that... After 20 some odd years... it's still a VERY VERY popular tuning motor today, across several generations. They can be built... but their popularity isn't in their "high-powered" ability. Aside from that... from a performance standpoint... the 4AG would make a better track engine than a 3SGTE. Turbos make great power... but sometimes... on some tracks... they're rendered nearly useless cause you just can't really step on it without the thought of losing grip all the way through a corner. As for all-out acceleration... well... the power will hang it all out there. I wouldn't try to build a 4AG powered drag car... If I were to swap into my celica... I'd go 7AG hybrid (basically 4AG head on a 7AF block)... Get a bit of the torque, and get the high-revving free-flowing 4AG attitude. Throw on some 270+ duration cams in the 8mm lift range... and you'll have a streetable 7AG hybrid that can potentially lay down around 150 whp with a very nice torque band around 130 ftlbs that never drops off... -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl...
