It's not really that simple. The thing to remember is that a TT car may make full boost at 3500 RPM, while a SC car won't make it until redline. Accordingly, the TT car is making much more power over the rev band--even if they ultimately have the same peak HP--which is clear when you look at a dyno plot of the tq of a TT car. All of this extra power will likely produce more heat than spinning the SC.
