Their speedos are also generaly more accurate. The 440 may feel quicker since its smaller with more road noise etc, and may have been fibbing a little more with regards to what real speed it was doing :blush:

The same in hondas, you can run a civic motor stock in a crx, and smash a any other civic with that same motor. Weight plays a major roll in performance. HAVE THE MOTOR DYNO'ED. Get your true number values, compare to your original numbers, that will tell all. good luck! :thumbsup:
