We had our cars worked on at the same time in feb.. dynoed with in 2 hours of each other both manual 6, both same fuel system, same dyno, she has a better blower. (Moves more air and iats where better since I was over spinning mine)
Lower compression wins when you can turn up the boost agreed..
Higher compression wins if you have a fuel system and octane.
But in the LT Direct injection running on 93 lower seems better..the blowers can out perform the fuel sytem.
Look at the Street Brawler by Jannety. 735 on a SS with cam and maggi2300, on zl1s it's in the 800s.

Are you comparing the SS and ZL1 running the same boost level, or are you saying that a z running 15psi runs more power than the SS running 8psi?
I was in the 715whp range at 8psi with the super street brawler package...was over 800whp with 14psi...I am in the process of dialing my SS back down because I think that the 700range is perfect on the street. . .but will definitely run the SS over 800whp at the track this summer (super street brawler package).
I am also getting ready to get another super street brawler setup on my M7. Damn taxes seem to be slowing me down. I am really leaning toward forged drop in pistons on that setup too...
