But doing this isn't "worthless" it does help you get quite a bit more RPMs out of the motor. It just depends on how long you want the motor to last.
That's like saying I went 8.90...... once. The other guy went 9.0...... all day. Who's the better tuner? The problem here is comparing two very different cars. As a basher, there are better choices than either. Since they wouldn't race in the same class, you'd need to decide which class you'd rather race in. Should you intend to race.
