I had thought that the same upgrades to a base 4.4 engine would result in more significant torque and hp gains because of the higher output capacity of the engine to begin with. Perhaps I am referring more to the maximum performance gains.

I suppose you are correct, 9 hp added to a ~225 hp car is quite significant compared to 9 to a ~280 (cant quite remember the specs)
