OK heres where i think your off at least IMHO. you say better for racing but what kinda of racing maybe high speed road course or highway street racing yes, and you say consistant more hp through the powerband maybe no fun cause you dont get the hit of boost all of a sudden maybe but HP under the curve is where good track times come from peak numbers really dont mean anything its about making good numbers thru ur rpm range. thats how we get our 350-400hp cars to run deep 11's when most people cant. its just like the supras dont get me wrong there fast and make rediculous numbers but they are for the most part highway monsters and blow for drag alot of times. i would think a smaller or medium size turbo to keep boost in more rpms and a good suspension tire setup to hook would be better. if im wrong tell me but thats why i beleieve.
