I completely understand what you're saying. I want to get nice O.S. ASAP, but they both say 1.75 at 16,000 rpm. What other specs contribute to the power of an engine? Do these engines not have the same output? If the Mailbu can keep up with the vette . . . Fill me in! I'm not yet very technical.
First of all, most of those specs that you read from the manufacturers are far from what the engine will actually do. So it's really not a great way to compare engines. Like I said, there is no comparison between the two engines. The OS is a power house, and the Tower is middle of the pack engine. I'm not saying that it's not a decent engine, but when put up against a new OS it doesn't compare.
So no, these engines do not have the same output. In this case, the Malibu cannot keep up with the Vette.
