I don't doubt a 3.7 can hit those numbers, but it's waiting for the boost to build up that will really show. With the larger displacement, the turbo spools up quicker, that's the nice perk. Drivability will be compromised if you are waiting on the turbos.

That's definitely one of the reasons behind the stroker - less overall lag.

Do you think a nice tune will alleviate the problems behind driveability? Considering all the internals will be balanced, coated, etc., would there be a reason that it would be less driveable until boost?
