hi ntc....first of all from my point of view u shouldn't get carried away with the impression if u have a powerful engine it is good for u (i'm not saying they r bad too..by all means go get them if u really want them.)...l..but to win races u have to finished the race.....to finished the race u have too be constantly good in every dept. i.e. setting,tuning,driving,tire choices etc....there's ppl winning / getting good resultds in club level races without having to have the best engine and so on....just my opinion...cheers
