Yes TONS the 140 sport doesnt have the power the DZ has. It is also not as heavy. The 140DZ is the most powerful 4 Stroke offered by YS at this time but keep your eyes open soon the 140 DZ will be replaced with the 160 DZ already being tested. Unofficially I have heard this. I believe they rate the 140 sport at just under 3 HP and the 140 DZ at 3.25 Hp thats a big difference for just a few ounces in weight difference.

If you have not had a YS before, go with the sport. They are easier to set up and use. The DZ is a competition motor, and is really for the experts.
Even the sport will be more powerful than most engines you have come across. I have one on order from Island Hobbies at the moment, as I need a bit more power than my current YS 120 gives me in a Capiche 140.

RE: YS 140 sort V 140DZ
The Sport is easier to operate. It uses the more familar YS pressurised tank system. It is a more user friendly engine and will run just fine on 20% nitro. It is less expensive and even though it is less powerfull than the DZ it is a crankcase-supercharged engine and still more powerfull than any equivalent 4-c in its size class.
The DZ 140 is being replaced by the 1.60. They are available end of this month in the USA. The DZ uses a pump with a normally vented tank. The head contains a fuel injector nozzle that is right next to the inlet valve. They tend to be fickle about starting and flooding unless you know excatly what you are doing and unless you have the right clamp on the fuel line at the right moment etc. They also need 30% fuel.
I would advise that you use the Sport version.
