Like the old adage goes, "there is not replacement for displacement".

With a beefier engines comes a stronger engine with a bigger crank, 4-bolt mains etc. and that means it take take a lot more abuse.

Now add a forced induction system on top of that and you get one heck of a monster. Turbos are better with fuel economy than
a supercharger because there is no parasitic drain on the engine everthing else being equal.
