The power does not go through the high revs. The BEAMS VVT-i is not what everybody thinks of. There was a deep discussion of this on celica.net that was very explanatory. The BEAMS revs to 7400, only 400 above a 3sgte. The BEAMS can very solidly be placed at 240 hp with a good exhaust and an EMS, not so bad in a car that weighs 2590 lbs. I would take 240 N/A over 255 Turbo anyday, but that's just IMO and why I chose to go with the BEAMS.
