I guess it would depend on the track. The tracks I run on are very short and even with an entry level engine I couldn't possibly use all of its power. On the larger tracks I can see the need to have that big power and if so, I would want to tap into that power the quickest way possible. In so many forms of racing, whether it be motocross, GP, Nascar, Indy, or whatever, it's important to keep the revs high or rather keep the engine turning at it's optimum RPM. How great would it be to keep the throttle on and break at the same time ? Kenny Roberts would go through a turn with the throttle full on and at the same time slow using his breaks. When exiting a turn his bike would respond much quicker than if he had to recover those lost RPM's. All he had to do what let go of the breaks, the power was there, it never really left. Unfortunately, our controllers don't support separate gas/break functions and we must slow the RPM's only to turn around and get them back.
This is where I would prefer that my usuable power or max power be avaiable at the lowest RPM. Sorry for the run on. Bottom line.......I want the power and I want it now, not later.
