I think it's a question of how much low end torque you're willing to give up. As Dimman pointed out before, the 3S-GE can make better than Ferrari 458 specific torque with the TRD cams (and ITB/intake assembly, exhaust, and 13.1 compression), but if you're stuck without variable cam profiles then your low end torque basically doesn't exist :P
My proposed solution: a true performance oriented mild hybrid system to boost low end torque so it feels like a 2.4L everywhere
