I thought he was joking, but if he posts graphs then it's obviously all true. Looks like the joke might be on us

If they are OEM, they are worth a fortune because the SS cars are Super Rare and got the Vette Engine special order from the factory, the Z28's only got the Monte Carlo engine...

It is common knowledge...that they are the same, not the opposite.

You can post all the dyno graphs you want, all it proves is that 1 car was either a lt1 car or had a dead cylinder or something stupid like that.

Or maybe a strong m6 car vs a weak (not well maintained) automatic

I was in fact just joking, I was going to find some sweet MS Paint made dyno sheets and swear by them but I couldn't find any right away and don't feel like making my own.

damn, thunder, that sig pic brings back memories, my brother had a 69 chevelle malibu with a 350 and 4.11 gears. i loved the hell out of that car, always wanted to buy it, but never had the money, and he sold it for 800 dollars after blowing a headgasket. i coulda killed him for that, but i was a broke *** kid back then.
