You might find the 460hp engine will actualy get you around a track must faster, it has a much flatter torque curve, and the power curve stays nice and flat accross between the 5,500 and 8,000rpm sweet spot.
With a chassis that light you want to think more about controll than out right power.

Good ideas. Plus the 460hp version would be much easier to tune. Maybe I could even play with cams and head flows to get more area under the curve down low in the RPM band.
