Wrong.

2 - "For motors built for competition use a relief can help, but must be carefully

You will be in the "C" main without it and there is no design to it. You just
go bigger.

"The rpm range of competition will heavily favor whether a relief is helpful

It helps over the whole rpm range.

3 - "For all out high rpm use such as land speed racing a relief is necessary."
Right.
