Extra compression in the SS engine will allow for more HP over the ZL1 at similar boost levels. As was already mentioned. Plus the tune gives it a bit more...as was mentioned also. However don't count out the fact that the ZL1 engine internals can handle much more than the SS. And our fuel system and the cooling makes it a much better platform. The SS simply was not built for boost like the ZL1 was. So while they may make more HP at similar boost, we can boost higher. And that extra compression at a certain point will become a drawback considering that at certain levels companies use lower compression pistons.
