You nailed it, too many people look at 'Peak' horsepower numbers , they never even bother to go down in the RPM curve and compare HP/TQ numbers, a lot more time is spent there during acceleration than at peak power, higher average torque/ horsepower, is the way to go in a 'STREET' driven car.
I like Blowers, I like Turbo's and I like N20, now if they would put a 150 shot in that kit.....finished.
