Once the turbo is equalized, there is no reason for similarly modded 8's and 9's to make similar power. IX's however, can sometimes make equal power on stock cams, esp if its E85. Mivec mostly helps in the spool-up area, with cams like 4R's helping improve spool almost 500rpm over a non-mivec evo8.
