It's not just about peak power, it's also about low-end and mid-range torque. Although a tuned naturally-aspirated VQ can put up solid peak numbers, it won't be able to hang with a forced induction kit (even a centrifugal SC-based one) in the rpm ranges where most street-driven cars are at most of the time.
