Cams are identical.

The extra 14bhp between the two comes from tuning on the ECU and the use of a 4-2-1 tubular manifold and free flow exhuast on the rs2k.

If you happen to have a manual 2.0 scorp, theres a possibilty you could use the RS EECIV ecu to run it which should give you around 150bhp :)
