No. They use 4 port engine because its superior for power and torque production, no matter what porting is applied to irons...

Its quite strange question. Turbo engine is very same as NA engine, it just operates in different absolute pressures. Certainly, once you reach maximum torque you can produce in NA engine, only way to increase power is to carry this torque to higher rpms and high rpms=huge stress and wear on everything. So in case of turbo engine, its always better to turn up the boost then trying to spin it to the moon

To the OP, if your system will be really optimized, it could go over 250 HP@crank. That being said, most streetported 13Bs are probably making around 220 HP... It depends on to much things...
