I'd imagine that's true before they are tuned. The manufacturers probably care more about fuel economy than getting power out of it.

Early on there there was a clear definition between an 8 and a 9 with similar mods, but now you look at the graphs and power output between the cars listed in this thread and there isn't much difference.

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.
