BTW do you have any idea of how big of an RPM difference there is among motors made by different OEMs or for that matter the same OEM motor with zero timing and max timing? Just because you can use one FDR in a NOVAK motor doesn't mean that same FDR is good for another. Like Johnny Wishbone said, let the amp draw and temps be your guide in selecting timing for your motor [and FDR too] - you may not have the same motor (with the same timing) at the same track as someone else!
