( S55 rpm estimates from dyno and tach. )
N63: 4,395*cc, 402*hp @5500-6400, 440*lb·ft@1750-4500, 7000 rpm redline
S55: 3,000 cc, 430 hp @6000-7000, ~400 lb·ft@2000-5500, 7500 rpm redline

I would think dyno charts from both engines will look very similar with a slight shift of the curves to higher rpms for the S55
Your question is a little vague. I think in your case for the question asked, the n55 would be a I6 version of an N63... With the only similarity being a twin scroll turbo. The S55 is by far nothing compared to an N63 and N55 if the thought stirs about.
