Top Speed is only going to be dependent on the ratio of the gears and FD, as its all down to the Revs of the engine which becomes the revs at the wheels.
How fast you get there is going to be based on the power of the engine combined with the ratio of the gears.
I think its power that "there's no replacement for displacement."

do you mean speed or acceleration?

that's true, i guess it's lots to do with torque rather than speed, like some old american muscle cars, some would have a whopping 400+ bhp, and would acclerate to 120mph in the blink of an eye, but not get any faster after that.

i've been in a bog std cavalier 2.0 16v!! it managed 150mph!! a mini is lighter but with smaller wheels and poorer aerodynamics so you'd lose out there!!
having said that the honda does sound glorious when it comes onto the vtec cam

theres also the k20A new civic type R lump than can rev to 9000rpm, it isnt massivly tourquey but when supercharged it definately makes up for it!! 300bhp comes without too many mods i believe!!
bit pricey tho!!

No the 'B20 vtec' is a B20 block with a B series vtec head.

Well yes and no about the head, all the B series heads are interchangable but some are better than others.
