Anyone ever heard the old addage that horsepower is impressive but torque wins races? Just because one blower porduces more peak torque doesn't mean that car will be faster. What if you have a narrow, peaky powerband? You shift and you're right back out of the band. With a wide, flat powerband you shift and you're right back in the meat of the powerband. To me, that's how you build a fast car.
