Yes Patrick. Giving up 15 Hp because it makes you feel like you could rev the engine higher, even though in reality it cannot, does not matter one iota for a non race car. If it gives you a false warm fuzzy, it was worth every Hp given up, because it is a pleasure car, and it pleased you.
Let's face it, you could easily make up the 15 hp by getting cooler air to the engine or reducing exhaust back pressure. Since you cannot hook the power you have to the ground it probably still doesn't matter. Most of what we do does not matter, but there is no fun in thinking that way.
