Hondas cylinder heads flow very well from the factory plus alot of guys run 10-1 or more so you can run less boost plus make the same power

Typically they run a lot larger turbos. They also make a lot of horsepower because they have a very short piston stroke. Making them have to rev extremely higher to make any power. That's why Hondas have practically no torque.
