Quoting White_SS/RS here, I'm also very skeptical of cutting the crash beam. Use one big core or two smaller, your choice, but I'd put it as close to A/C condenser as possible, without cutting anything.

We should also discuss the conditions (track type), power levels, ambient temps, and also the average RPMs when comparing results. If you're not using the whole motor (shifting before redline, coasting to break zones, etc.), then the results might get misleading, at least in comparison with others'.
