In my opinion I really don't think it would make that much of a difference (if any).
Look all thousands of high horsepower cars out there that have the same setup.

Hopefully I'll get to see and hear this car run at one of the rotary events in the future

Looking at that graph though, I'd assume you are having ignition breakup issues.
