Science says. Look at the cars that have 200hp/tq or more out of 4 cylinders.
Sentra 2.5 liter, 6.5 redline
GTi, 2.0 Turbo, 6.5 redline
MS3, 2.3 turbo, 6.5 redline
STi, 2.5 bigger turbo, 7 redline(bigger than the tiny MS3 and GTi turbos)
EVO, 2.0 bigger turbo, 7 redline(bigger than the tiny MS3 and GTi turbos)
Solstice GXP/Sky redline, 2.0 slightly bigger turbo, 6.5 redline
And in a league of their own...
Civic Si/RSX-S, 2.0, 8k redline, no tq, 200hp
S2000, 2.0/2.2 240hp, 8k/9k, redline no tq
In a engine you are pretty much going to get hp/tq pretty equally unless you up the revs thus sacrificing tq down low. The way to up the HP, and keep the tq is to go force induction especially if you plan on raising the redline.
N/A with a high rev limiter will not have tq.
Look at Ferrari's, Hondas, F1 cars etc.
