Thanks for the help guys! 
sorry rob 
i dont wanna start a fight!!!!
and yes i did mean the pinnacle of n/a, but theres nothing to stop forced induction on a highly developed engine either, other than compressoin issues.
ill make sure im specifc this time SPEEDCORE
if i remember correctly most engines have whats called a powerband, as long as you have the skill and gearing to keep the engine in the powerband its all good
now obviously with a lumpier cam profile and other modifications, the powerband of the engine will move to higher in the rev range, in a street engine there is only so far you can go before it becomes a pig to drive, with high idle poor fuel comsumption ect. but in a racing situation going flat out the whole time, you can keep the engine spinning in its peak range the whole time, so i really dont see why response and power at 2000rpm is important when you spend the whole time between 6000 and 11000, or between 4500 and 7000 in the case of my other car. i spend the whole time in a 2500 rpm band of my engines whole range. so on the track the rest of the rev range dosent really matter.
and my point behind the motorsport comment is that i am activley involved, no one on the forum here knows me, so i just wanted to let everyone know i was serious
