It will get you close.
I am not familiar with the RevTech motor, but if you can, dial as much timing out of the motor has you can. Run a race, dont worry about the speed, then temp the motor. Keep adding timing in 5 deg increments, and until it the motor temp is around 140-160F. You will notice the car getting quicker. From there you can play with Roll out. Anywhere from a 80-90mm would be in the ball park.
I use the newest firmware (V3_930_Stock).
