The Maggie graph shows what looks like a KR cough at 4200RPM... so that kind of skews the KB ahead after that... until the KB takes over and seperates around 5000 RPM. While the KB continues to pull real hard this shows how close the teansy weansy MP112 runs with a big twin screw. I bet the numbers would have been a little closer had the comparison shown a KB 2.6L on an LS1 versus LS6... all other inputs remaining the same regarding this comparison. Super nice numbers for both. BTW... I have seen that little 4-4.2k KR blip too many times to count on GENIII motors... NA or FI...

Notice the mag is pushing 10psi and the KB is 8psi. That at least shows the potential for the newer KB stuff. Nice to see it keep climbing past 6000 rpms.

I agree. I think its a little hard to compare with all the different mods on there. How do you guys think they effected the results?

The Z06 has better heads, different headers/exhaust, more compression, and alky injection.

The 01 has a camshaft and 2 more pounds of boost.

Too many variables there to get a good comparison IMHO. The KB did post higher numbers than I've seen outta a 112 maggie on a LS car though so that can't be disputed at all.
