This question would be better posed at the pylon forum. The difference might be just a couple of seconds with the same power applied, which to those guys would be huge. Sounds like a simple project that would be worth trying for fun.
I was thinking that it would be pretty easy to make up a new wing to find out, which is why I asked. I am not going fast enough or skilled enough as a pilot to tell a difference like that, but I was wondering if the faster cornering would make up for the loss of straightline speed. I will take a look over in the pylon forum and see what they think.
I agree, a couple of seconds a lap would be huge on the lap times they run. For a duffer like me, just playing around without a fixed course or stopwatch running, I would never be able to tell.
