But then maybe too much torque at low rpm's won't work with low gear ratios, making a turbo more suitable for a dual-purpose crawler/street engine.
Many variables to consider....

My subaru brain can't fathom a turbo rock crawler. My wrx didnt start really boosting until 2900 and peaked at 5000 rpms. That was a fairly big turbo though. At least with a SC you run off belts and engine speed, no lag. I don't know.
Bottom line I love LCE and their products. Wish I could afford them all.
