The bigger the motor the less the lag the quicker the spool up. Course going bigger on turbos not engines can cause a lot of lag. And guess smaller engine might rev a bit faster depending on stroke and stuff. Also lag when. You can downshift if your car is a manual to lower gear say go to 2nd if you are in third in city and have quick spool up .Do similar thing on highway go down to say 3rd or 4th if you are in 5th.
You can use a two step to build boost off the line in a manual and autos you can of course use a stall converter to build more boost.
You can powershift your manual to keep boost up between shifts. Autos keep the boost up pretty good.

So don't worry you should be spooling up pretty quick with a 408.I am pretty sure going 408 or 402 with my aps twin turbo kit.
