I'll let you know how it works soon.

A properly built 2.4L will turn 9500rpm with no problems. The hp goes up a little, but the torque goes up alot. Most DSM trannys don't like to shift above 8500rpm anyway. So why not make as much power as you can in the rpm range that works the best for our cars, especially a street car. Imagine having a .60 trim turbo hitting full boost at 3000rpm. On average a 2.4L will spool a turbo up 1000rpm sooner. And think about how much better just the normal, non-boost driving will be on the street.

As CVD said, add 20% to a current 2.0L 4g63 making 500hp. The 4g64 would see a increase of power up to 600hp just based on the increase in displacement if the set-up allows for the additional air/fuel/exhaust flow. But the torque would increase at a higher ratio.
