hahaha that vid was pretty funny.. yeah you could put out the same power as a v12.. not the same kind of torque:hp since a v12 has a ton more torque than an i4.. pretty much any decent engine can put out 1000hp if the owner had the money and desire to do it.. so your idea isn't exactly logical.. in your eyes, you seem to be saying every engine is underrated

I wouldn't necessarily say one engine is better than the other because of how much more power it makes. My analysis would include:

How long the engine lasts
How much air it flows compared to the engine size
How fuel and power efficient the engine is
Ease of matienence
Cost efficiency
Power to weight ratio(of the engine)
Maximum attainable power compared to engine size
How thermally efficient the engine is
And lastly, maximum attainable power

Those are just a few. Yes a Ferrari engine is capable of more power than a KA24DE or E and yes logik, a Taurus engine, but the Ferrari engine loses in cost efficiency. IDK how long the tend to last with proper matinence and I really don't care to know.

And FYI, the BAR/Honda F1 team had the highest horsepower engine in the circuit. Just a little food for though.
