My guess is that the S55 dynochart will look very much like that of the N63 in terms of actual TQ,HP,RPM and shape of the curves. While that is a very impressive feat indeed taken the difference in displacement I can't say I find the N63 very exciting in it's power delivery. The key to the specialness or not of this engine will IMO be how responsive it is. My guess is that it will be very,very good for an FI but not really close to a good NA engine. Same story as the steering, probably very,very good for an EPS but not as good as a good HPS. The engine however will be more of a give an take where the extra midrange could make up for some of the top end pull and less sharp throttle response.
