    99-00 spec b20b- Horsepower: 146 hp Max Horsepower: 6200 rpm
    Torque: 133 ft-lbs. Max Torque: 4500 rpm
    Redline:6800rpm

    LS b18a-b: Horsepower: 140 hp Max Horsepower: 6300 rpm
    Torque: 124 ft-lbs. Max Torque: 5200 rpm
    Redline:6800rpm

    Looks like the B20b wins.
    Boost under slow construction...
