The K24 is better for a daily driver, that will never see the track. This is because it is smaller. More torque at lower RPM is good for the street. Most people don't rev to 5-6000 rpm on the street much. Everyone uses 2000 rpm on the street though. The k24 gives boost at 2000 rpm giving lots of low end torque but giving up all out, top end power at 6000 rpm. If you need the 6k power, then the k26 is right, but for a daily driver, the low lag 24 is a lot nicer to drive.
