Yes your motor has more power but your car has an all metal (aluminum) drive line including differentials, and shafts this creates friction and reduces power to the wheels and even worse when a shaft is a lil bent you lose a TON of HP to the wheels, compared to the 4-tec's drive line is made of belts and plastic keeping friction down to a minimum.
With a properly shimmed driveline along with complete CV shafts throughout and a one way ball diff in the front and ceramic ball berings throughout, I have a hard time believing the stock 4-teck rolls better than mine. And no I've never bent a drive shaft, must be cause there 4mm thick!
