Yeah, I can get the old girl up over 7000 every now and then, but 90% of my driving occurs below 2000 until I run out of gear, then I have no choice. I need a small 2nd turbo on my shit to get me spooled from idle- 2000, then the K24 can take care of the rest. Not worth the effort though, I'd rather just have a nice big V8 and tall gearing. The seat of the pants knows what it wants, and low-compression, off-boost, <200lb-ft motors aren't going to cut it. I did look at a couple dyno charts of 2JZs, and they're around 160 lb-ft off boost around 2000ish. That's weak as hell for a sports car. Your S4 makes over 250 from nearly off-idle, that's why it feels so good around town. I move that power 1500rpm up, and you'll hate it.
