Check the chart again. If you look at the comparison closely, you can see the baseline run was started ~200 RPM sooner than the after run so the stock run appears stronger than it actually is - but the info is there. It takes the engine a sec to get fully dialed in for full power, so you will see the power curve raise from zero to full within a couple of hundred RPM once you mash on the pedal.
Wanted to touch on another couple of points....

G1 is making same amount of boost as the Vortech unit.
The G1 blower is not friction drive, nor is it hot. Its a high ratio synchro gear drive, having a similar capacity to the V3Si with cooler discharge temps. It does not need more boost to make the same power and can still be run non-intercooled. ESS is seeking to design a proprietary non-intercooled manifold in order to further optimize weight reduction when no cooler is needed.
G2 has even more capacity than the V3Si. these superchargers can also spin much faster and have far superior overall design in both the airflow and gear drive sections. Partial to the reason for keeping consistent runs.
