I can make my 800 competitive - at a cost. I wouldn't need to spend money on much tuning - as you intimate it would be reducing reciprocating weight which has many advantages...but it costs shed loads.

But isn't this true of any racing series, with the exception of one-make series?

There will always be one model which has an advantage over the others as a starting point, purely because it is more powerful/lighter/better equipped/etc
