+1. the more power any motor makes n/a, the more power its going to make on boost, and at less psi. comparing an ls motor to a vtec motor on boost is like comparing apples to oranges, unless that ls motor has a big set of cams and a better flowing head.

That is just because the vtec motors are more efficient and carry the torque higher in the rshared_pm band. Since hp is function of torque and rshared_pm and the vtec motors make more torque higher in the band it translates to a wider margin between the peak numbers. Lb for Lb on the same turbo the vtec motor will make the same or more torque and alot more HP.
