They just have to get the "reliability" part right and they can justifiably ask for a 15%-20% premium over what's already out there. If they actually manage to sort out the engine management software and put out a credible kit with warranty and tech support it would be quite a feat. Buyers will probably need to run 305's in the back to put the power down
Close to what? Every other kit is doing better than that, and thats not even an S65 your arguing for.

And there's no boost tapering because of the same reason.

The Audi graph below shows a huge area under the curve starting at the beginning of the rev range.


Centrifugal kits however will suffer from what you speak of.
Look how much you are trading for that, its not a good balance. Believe me, im all for adding more low tq, but the graph above crashed my expectations
