You answer will illustrate your education level.
OK, I'll bite.

If I was participating in a 24h endurance race I would tune my engine to work as efficiently as possible while maintaining stock performance numbers or I wouldn't tune it at all. Using more fuel during an endurance race at the expense of any internal component only leads to more break downs and more time spent refueling, which equates to less time on the track making laps. I would instead spend time and money on durable brakes, suspension components and then on aerodynamics, all things that will contribute to more time on the track.

Since an endurance race is won by number of laps completed and not fastest lap time, this is the way to go with an already quick car.

I enjoyed your straw man argument again. Thank you.
