It all comes down to the car's purpose and what kind of powerband best suits that, eg. drag vs road race.
PoorMan, in the other thread you mentioned the GT3076 has mismatched wheels. The graph above shows similar results to the 7163 aside from some minor differences. What are your thoughts?

If you've ever rode in a 3076 car, you would notice the transient response sucks, especially in single-scroll form. Also, keep in mind the 7163 is a 60lb/min turbo and a standard 3076 is 55lb/min.
3076 usually spools at 4500rpm on an SR, and I'm betting the 7163 is MUCH faster.
