What is it that causes our engines to be so under powered? Is it the ECU's, or what?

To answer the original question, toyota cars with an FE head is designed for fuel economy. The angle between the valves is very small and restricts the way the engine breathes. The valve angle on a GE head is around 45 degrees and this allows it to breath a lot better and put out more power. Even the older 3SGE motors can put out power with minimal work.
