Just as I have always suspected, the 493 makes LESS peak power then the 494. Not a huge difference, About 2 HP and 2 ft LB's torque. But at least enough to call the motors Equal! OK, I know, the 98,494 did have RAVE, but as everybody knows, RAVE helps lower rpm transition, after 5500 the valves are wide open anyway.

Anybody that can post pictures, I will be glad to send them so you might get them up for all to see.
