I like this site
http://www.juicingbook.com/vegetables
Even though it is not exactly what you are looking for. It has some good info about juicing...

I was in my local co-op today and ordered a green juice. It was celery, spinach, kale, cucumber and wheatgrass. I noticed when she put the kale into the juicer, hardly any juice came out. I wonder how to get the most "juice" from kale.

It probably depends mostly on what type of juicer was used. The auger type is supposed to be the best. I have the Jack Lalanne Power Juicer, which juices by basically shredding the vegetables/fruits. I find that it does a poor job juicing small items like parsley (it's good with lettuces though). I think augers are better at introducing less oxygen into the process, but I found mine to be a pain to clean.

(Wow, that original post is over a year old!)
