Mike - You pretty much answered your own question with your phrase �the illusion of power� near the end of your post!
As Jim and the others point out below, the M&W governor is more sensitive (has less droop) than the stock IHC governor. This makes the tractor feel more �snappy� under changes in load. Ie. it responds more quickly as load is increased or decreased. It also holds RPM within a somewhat narrower range through load changes. And it causes the throttle to go wide open sooner as the engine become fully loaded. Combined this gives the operator the sensation of �more power�. But under full load conditions, once both gov�s have driven the carb wide open there�s no difference whatsoever in power.
