Didn't quite finish tuning but ended up at 72/33 with full timing (20 on can... which is supposed to be 50 on this motor). No ESC boost, etc.
At the end of about 10 minute run, motor was only 113F (ambient around 80F). (Probably will go another pinion, maybe change spur down to 69)
For that track you are pretty safe where you are geared right now, could easily go up a tooth or two.
The track I am running on has a double in the center of the 70' straight that you have to lift for not to throw the car funny and waste the landing. The rest of the track is very tight, not much for high speed areas to speak of.
We are also running on carpet with MC Suburbs front and rear.
Traction is insane.
So....
That is why I am at 75/33.
Also,
You should be able to get to the 25* mark on timing or close to it.
