On Thursday, I tried 72 with 25' and 30' and there was a little more fade at the end of the run, with 70 roll out and 30', I seemed to have the best fast lap and least amount of drop off. Only about .18 seconds over a run. Fast lap was 9.104 and second to last lap was a 9.289.

I had run the motor with a more conventional D3.5 roll out at around 80-84 and the hot laps were ok, but the motor felt low on punch and it would drop off 0.3-0.5 tenths over a run.

I am yet to try the 17.5 motor so far, but if it behaves anything like the 13.5, I would think that a roll out of around 92-94 would be good? Have you had a chance to try something like this? Any thoughts?
Started at 85 roll
Timing from 20 to 40
R1 17.5 feels best around 25-30'
Adjust roll to track size

I agree the 13.5 is a screamer though
