Horsepower is horsepower?
If that theory is true (in real circumstances), then a 385hp 6.7L Cummins diesel shouldn't spank a 381hp Toyota Tundra when both are tested 0-60 towing a 5740# boat. But it did. Must be the adva...

A boosted 3.5 is bigger than a boosted 6.7? I don't think so.
You may not think so, but it is.
It's funny the talk was between the 6.7 and the 3.5 because at one atmosphere (14.7 PSI)of boost they flow almost exactly the same amount of air. The EB puts out 14.??? lbs of boost so it will be VERY close to a 6.7 liter to a 7.0 N/A engine.
In fact the 6.7 N/A will be only around 90% VE where the boosted engine will be 100% VE so the boosted 3.5 will flow slightly more air and fuel than the 6.7.
A lot of people don't understand turbo's and what they do to air flow. My turbocharged 5.7 SBC at 15 lbs of boost will flow more air than a 11.4 liter N/A engine. And that is only at 15 lbs of boost. 30 psi is not uncommon at the strip now days. :E
Unfortunately a lot of people don't understand what that does to fuel flow either. A 5.7 liter engine at 30 lbs of boost will use 4 times the amount of fuel as a N/A 5.7 liter engine at wide open throttle. :E :E :E
