It also could be how much advance you're using. My 17.5 car has a KO BLZ350 speedo and a Novak Ballistic. The timing on the motor is set to 50+ degrees of advance. The motor did nothing till we cranked past the label. Maybe you just haven't added enough timing.
Maybe our track is a little more technical, but I have ran the timing past the sticker on my ballistic in every main. I'm not doubting you on the speed difference just haven't seen it here on the east coast. When I run my team powers motor and set the iming to 60 degrees then it becomes ballistic against the typical silver can but still drivable. It really don't matter which way tcs decides to go because we will continue our 17.5 class at my home track and maybe I'll go back and try the silvercan again for tcs, I've just always hated the motor wars that go on with silvercans.
