Are you taking about a CSVT?? A CSVT is more than a tad faster than a mystique duratec. The SVT has 30 more horsepower. I have a 2000 CSVT(stock) and from my experience it is a tad faster than a vtec prelude(stock). The performance numbers in literature are almost identical. It comes down to the driver.
