You might as well have the extra 3.6 lb/ft of torque as well while you are at it
oh, thanks for getting the exact figures.

but I think as long as I don't put a MD changer in the secret compartment that extra 6.58hp and 3.6lbft of torque won't make much different

You are kidding aren't you???

You do know, don't you, that the engine is specifically designed to make the best use of those last 6 horses at the top end which make it faster than the McLaren F1???
