No one is saying that, just that diminishing returns kicks in very early and chasing power is pretty pointless when you get better laptimes from other modifications.

Fact is you could spend a lot of money chasing power with crank, pistons, rods, cams, big valve head, injectors, map the DME for that (have to retain that due to SMG unless you can be bothered to reverse engineer the comms and logic between Engine and SMG ECUs) and lets say maybe you get a real 410bhp (125bhp/L) then at full weight you'll still have a car that is slow in a straight line
