Weird, the Novarossi P5X has basically the same HP rating as an OS .18TZ (p) that I'm running.
Just because one engine makes more overall HP compaired to another, doesn't really mean much. It's all in where that power sits in the powerband and how long it stays there. An engine can make less horsepower but have a broad flat torque curve and kill a higher HP engine with a peaky curve or a narrow power band.
