Default 73 on the track - broad torque, or peakier & more HP
The 73E's engine will be upgraded after this year's DE season. I'm planning on an upgrade to "stock" 2.7RS specs. Anyway, I can choose to tweak the design to give more HP, but it will be a bit peaky, kind of like an early 911S.

What I'm trying to decide is, given the light weight of the 73E (~2400 lbs), do the tracks we drive on favor an engine with
(a) a broad torque range or
(b) more HP (even if the engine is peakier)?

Oh yeah, in either case, the driver is clueless and needs lots of seat time to figure out what he's doing. But ignore that for now, please.

Thanks for your advice!
