Short answer, its how the heads are designed and how the manufacturer wants the power curve to be also combined with the bore and stroke and compression. (since they're both NA) if you were comparing numbers between NA and FI I would have a different answer. What bluenoser said is the math part of the answer

I would also look at where the peak power is and what they rev to. I would be curious to see a Dyno sheet from the genesis. I don't wanna get into a debate over numbers but comparing those vehicles is gonna come down to how it drives. Seems to me Hyundai tweaked whatever they could to make it even more competitive on paper to gain more interest in the model since its comparitively priced to the 370
