considering that the EX has 12 hp at the crank more than the LX/DX........i would say 6 or 7 at the wheels.

it's definately more complex than just slappin on the head to give 10 crank... doesnt the EX also have slightly higher compression?

yes, it isn't easy for someone that doesn't have mechanical skills

yes, the EX has higher compression, but the head has nothing to do with that
