Its right here where my curiosity peaks....
So, the question is, what is the balance between lost hp and an increase in safety?
In other words, do you give up say ~1% power for a ~100% wider tuning/safety margin? I think most people would gladly trade 1-5% power for a significant increase in safety. I just don't know how this could be measured.

Lose more power with a 9" to have extra strength, lose power with an exhaust to quiet it down, lose power with a 4L80e to prevent rebuilding your 60 yearly, trading off power for other perks is as common in the performance industry as performance mods themselves.
As long as you have a strong ignition, you won't have any problem with a 50/50 mix.
I think technically as long as you run strong enough spark, you won’t lose anything. I know the rice racing guys swear by straight water. Lots of good info and impressive results on their site. They also have 2 plugs per CC with leading and trailing spark, as well as some seriously powerful ignition systems.
