Yup a long stroke that can rev past 8000. It is tiny in comparison to many applications but I assume you mean starting with a 1.8? Anyway the evo does have short stroke but not compaired to those 1.6's and 1.8's

Revving a long stroke motor past 8000rpm isn't difficult. The difficult part is long-term durability.

Actually, the long 3.46" stroke of the EVO isn't short even by V8 standards. Compare the stroke of a Chevy 350 at 3.48", which isn't considered a 'short stroke' engine. The 4G63 is designed to give good torque for its displacement at the expense of some increased friction. This is advantageous for a small engine in a heavy chassis.

Yes but the 4G63 is built to last a long time with its construction. I Have had my 1st one last well past 100,000 miles and with over 400 HP, I hope teh evo does the same.

I would put the 250 into a use TME if it was me but it's your money.

I am actually going to get the 6.5TME and put the 9.8 housing on it. I want faster spool and low-end torque more than I want horsepower. I will port, polish, and ceramic coat the 9.8 before installing it though...

This includes:
Appropriate cams and cam timing
Using every bit of available turbo efficiency at midrange rpm
Sufficient fuel capability
Meticulous tuning
The WRC car does a very good job of this, and makes something like 400ft/lb at 3500rpm.
