Probably pretty much the same. Engines are so rev limited now, they hardly matter. It all comes down to a better aerodynamic design than everyone else (Red Bull is close, and compare them to Renault). Under Honda, that would have been the same.
On the other hand, RB5 and STR4 are practically identical, so there is more to it than just the aero package.
But I don't consider the engines to be very important, at least in terms of performance. Reliability might be another issue.
