Default Engine comparisons

Just say we have 2 engines, both have the same:

Ported head
Uprated cam
Vernier
Low compression
Hybrid turbo
2.5" exhaust
GRS cooler

Both are running 16 psi but one is a 1.6 CVH and the other is a 2.0 ZVH.

Would there be a noticable difference in the power outputs of the 2 engines, i know the torque figure will be higher on the bigger engine but would it improve drivabilty or create more wheelspin/torque steer.

You're comparing a 1.6 8valve engine with a 2.0 16valve engine...
