Perhaps you are correct. But keep in mind, the rear IAS system is built to handle the lateral load of a 4500lb car cornering at nearly 1g, while under power, without being "overpowered". I would certianly hope it could stand up to a few extra lb-ft of twist in a straight line, without exibiting would could only be classified as torque-steer.
