Is it better to buy power parts that get you as close to X PP as possible, or is it just as good, or even better to add extra power and use the limiter to bring it back down to your PP goal?
When using the power limiter, the peak horsepower is lower than it is if I tune to the same PP using less limiter. I don't know how PP is calculated, but from this observation it seems like power is probably factored in by integrating the power curve rather than taking the peak value.
I think the power limiter just flattens anything above a certain point on the curve. Obviously it would not be good to flatten the curve below the point that the RPM drops to when shifting up, but could it be beneficial to have a partially flat curve above that point?
I know if peak power is reduced, the potential top speed would be reduced. I am mostly asking about tuning for circuits where you would be accelerating and using more range of RPM.
