Message	IMO: To make a short answer long, here you go (short answer can be found by reading only the bold/underline), Just taking rough estimates and for arguments sake, a 530/550 on my engine current setup, tuned on Q16, would have awesome spool making it a "neck breaker" out of the hole at the cost of a little top end. A 2860 variant, on my current engine setup, tuned on Q16, has similar spool, but the difference on the top end........ I have seen up to a +100rwhp difference. So after all that hot air, my answer is Yes
