Is there a way to have engine maps limiting horse power? I would love to track the Z06 with a lower HP to reduce consumable costs.

Program z mode to lowest settings except exhaust which would overheat. But why not just use your foot to control the gas pedal?

I want to have consistency on how much power is available to allow me to improve because of skill, not more pedal movement.

I'm 10 yr hpde instructor and I would advise you to learn how to modulate throttle rather than driving in tour mode and just flooring it. Just keep the nannies full on while learning
