I guess what I'm really asking, if one had to choose between the two as a starting point, after heavy moding which could ultimately be the best expression and balance of power and handling in a track car?

Hope that makes sense.

Thanks
A perfect chassis is always the most difficult to achieve. It takes a lot of experimentation. Adding HP is the simpler road to travel.
