Horsepower isn't always your friend on the racetrack. I'd rather have a well handling 400+ HP race car than an ill handling 600+ HP race car.
With that being said, the car that my trans is going into weighs 2050lbs with 585rwhp.
On a road course you can shift 20 times per lap or more depending on the car and track. If you can pick up .1 second per shift, that equals 2+ seconds per lap, which is usually the difference between the front runners and mid packers.
Also, if you're spending $20k+ on your trans, the odds are pretty good you aren't lacking in the motor department
