Guys, dont forget that RMIT won FSUK in 2004 with a spaceframe car and about that amount of kilowatts from a Yamaha 450 single on a carb.
So, yes, there is lots of speed to be gained outside the engine!

There is nothing wrong with standardized engine. Looking at any other formula event, if you take out only the teams that run with the Honda f4i (one of the more popular ones I believe) there is still quite a bit of difference in rankings.
Engine is only one very small component of the car, 99.9999% of the engine design work is already done for you. In my point of view, components like chassis, suspension, upright, hubs, pedals etc. is much more exciting and require much much more creativity and engineering analysis.
