The fact is it will drive the same, it may make more power up high but down low it will drive exactly the same and make boost at the same time.
The fact the tight arse thing has hit such a nerve says to me YOU have put yourself in that catagory, cause in the same post it also says "or don't realize how good the stroker really is and won't spend the extra money to have one"
There is no point comparing something if it's not like for like, so stock internal 2.6 vs forged 2.6 with the same bolt ons and boost levels will be exactly the same. Fact is like for like the increased capacity engine will walk away every time
