Like the bearings are ceramic, the crank has better balance and the ports are timed better.

is the port timing advanced or retarded from a stock V-Spec ?
If the power is higher in the rpm band the timing is most likely higher than stock.

I doupt timing is actually different...the stock V-Spec is already maxxed out as far as timing......any more timing and she will lose power....I will time a speed very soon, my bet its stock V-Spec timing. As well according to the dyno the Speed only makes more power at 28K..after 28K the Speed falls off pretty badly from the stock V-Spec..its power is not shifter upwards at all............the motor just makes a tiny bit more peak...1.48 HP for the regular Spec..and 1.51 HP for the Speed on the dyno.......... top end HP belongs to the regular V-Spec and so does low end power, only at 1 tiny point int he powerband does the Speed surpass the V-Spec.................. All i know is a properly modded V-Spec will blow the doors off a Speed !

Without having driven one it seems the Speed is a total ripoff then.

one would think that by now most of you would have realized that outright horsepower is not the main concern of most racers, so what if the standard v-spec makes a bit more power, in most cases these engines are making way too much power for off road conditions.
my novarossi Plus 21-7 will spin the four tires on grass!! Like i said, Overkill.

and a 21-7 is already a very mildly powered 21 as it is....
