The 4A-GZE is a supercharged engine rather than normally aspirated, so it not only has more horsepower, but also has a lot more torque than the 4A-GE. From the three or so sources that I've heard from, the 20 valve silver top 4A-GE is also over-rated on the horsepower figures. Xpander, who did the 20 valve silver top 4A-GE swap, estimated that his car is only slightly faster than a Celica GT. I think a better option for people considering doing a swap with their ST is the 4A-GZE, because it's got a lot more torque and a slight horsepower increase. Also, I've heard that it's cheaper to get more power out of a supercharged engine than a normally aspirated engine. With that said, however, the newer 4A-GE that you're talking about is the black top engine, which may not be over-rated like the silver top is. Also, I think that regardless of which engine you get, you're better off getting a whole clip, so that you get all of the accessories, bolts, mounting parts, ecu, etc., because it's very very hard to source individual small parts like that from Japan.

4AGZE 91-95 170hp at 6400rpm Torque: 21kg.m at 4400rpm
4AGE 91-95 160hp at 7400rpm Torque: 16.5kg.m at 4800rpm
I guess that there is that is different between the 2. 5.5 kilograms difference for torque and 10 hp different. I guess that the good thing about the 4AGZE is that the top HP and Torque is at a lower RPM. Coomer, I think that they said that they were looking on a budget. I do agree with you that the 4A-GZE is a way better engine for the ST. Also, I agree that a front clip is way better even if it more expensive.
