 YOur High compression motor is probably building boost at 2k
 RPM.  Mine does with roughly the same compression.  Only about
 3psi but still something.  
   Try this,  I have a few friends with 4kq's, etc.  4 of them
 running around.  Drive in second at 2k RPM.  Both punch it.  The
 NA motor will jump ahead untill a second or two later when you
 build boost.  Then you'll SCREAM past them.   
   At least this is my experience.  With 8.8:1 and k26.  But I
 dont have the MC-2 electronics.  YMMV

    Yes, I have noticed this toying with Hondas and such out on the road.  I 
let them get a head start, I am not usually worried about catching them a 
second later...I start getting boost right around 2k RPM, about 6 or so by 
2500, and all15 or so right about 3k.  Things really start heating up at 4k 
RPM though, up to about 5500 where it tapers again...hopefully the new cam 
will change that.
