I think there may be a slight issue with the on-track dynamics of a low power/high torque F3 motor and a (stock) higher BHP/lower torque engine.
I am not sure of the ARP restricted motors but current 26mm (?) F3 engines have enormous torque.
Also is there not some greater skill involved with driving an F3 chassis/engine combination than with a 'floor it no matter what' FVL. Don't forget it's not so long ago that, if you let the revs drop too far in an F3 at a corner and you then did floor it , it would blow up. Although the newer, electronically-injected engines manage some of that for you I am sure that it is more technique based?
