Isn't that going in the wrong direction. Don't you want to excite them up a bit?

i could think of a few reason's for a detune
1, maintenance
2, fuel burn
3, rebuild time
4, reliability

i guess once you go fast a few time you can say you did, and then you want some reliability and peace of mind that you will make it home when your done boating
just a thought
