Engine need more boost to make same power on 6000rpm than engine which rev 7700rpm, that means more lag, of course is more economical make power and torque on lower revs and making engine which is low revving not cost that much, thats why tc engines not rev so high than naturally aspirated, but now times has change.
Of course engine which have nice almost flat top end power curve is more easily to drive than engine which redline is 6000rpm and power rises very fast---> hard to find balance whit grip.
