I'm no Modem expert, and even less of an expert on Port setting for
the modem. If I remember right, 8-n-1 is...
8 = data bits
n = non parity
1 = 1 stop bit
What would be the benifit, or downfall, of setting the to some other
values for online racing?

You're right about the meaning.
8 bits fits nicely in half a register. Anything smaller can start
requiring overhead in order to "reconstruct" the data at the other end.
7-E-1 is another somewhat popular choice, but that used almost exclusively
(in my experience) with mainframe (or TTY) connections.
Stay with 8N1 whenever possible.
