Everything ive read says the 05 is noticibly faster...

I agree I think that the 450 will still be a bit faster.

my 2003 z is side by side with my friends 2005

The 450 is still going to have a good lead on you. The 450 weighs less than the z and the only thing that can make up for displacment is displacment so even with the mods you have really the only thing you can do to make it as fast or faster is internal work, such as cams, polishing, bigger and higher compression piston. I mean you should keep up fine with the 450 everywhere except a drag race or on the track but it all depends on the rider

The 450R will out run anytime by removing the spark arrestor off.

yeah 450r will beat an 03 z400 but if you had a 05 or 06 you would win with a yoshmura pipe and header and jet kit and k&n air filter
