It's a moot point really. You can dial in a car's system for a particular track and use the same setup and be less effective at another track. All things being equal, tires, LCAs, gearing, shocks, transmission, cage, harness etc, would you prefer to have more or less power than you have now?

I never said anything about lap times. Im talking drag racing. More hp doesnt mean faster. Is hp nice? Yes absolutely. Is it necessary? No in racing tq is just as important as hp. Especially drag racing. Id take a car that makes 350hp with 400 tq over 400 hp with 350 tq any day.
for instance my low hp 66 stang will out run 450+hp cars because it has more tq. Better 60' equals faster et. So hp is not always important
