The 5.8 is probably running lower compression than the LSA and with forged internals can dance the fine line of detonation more safely. It's very, very unlikely that the zl1 with bolt ons will put down nearly the same power you'll see out of a 5.8 with bolt ons.
i know 15psi isnt all that crazy on certain builds it just cought me off gaurd on a bone stock vehicle to be running 15psi but i see what you are saying
