a stock lbz to a stock 12v. that is sort of apples to oranges anyhow. an engine with an oem rating of 360/650 vs an engine that had an oem rating at most of 215/440. so at best you have a 145 hp and 210 tq disparity. id say the lbz should walk on the 12v. the simple fact is that they are two totally different animals. comparing them is silly. bring the 12v up to 360 and i bet the comparison is much better.
