Has anyone come to a conclusion that at whcih HP does stagger wheel really benefit this car on track?

It will never benefit the car at any HP level. The car isn't really meant to use a staggered setup. The car has a heavy front weight bias to begin and a fairly long wheelbase so adding grip in the rear is just going to make it understeer.

A lot of people in staggered setup cars end up going to a non-staggered setup on the track, unless you can't fit decent sized tires in the front of the car.

Non-staggered also allows you to rotate tires and spend less money. People do staggered setups on this car for show.
