I am presently running a boosted 17.5 but there are no motor restrictions. I am not lacking speed, but handling. I have almost no on power steering.
I purchased the car used and I did not change anything. I plan to take the car apart and set it back up so I know what I have.
Jaco blues are the hot tire and I do prep tires with traction compound.
I have several pairs of HPI blues and silvers, the kit Tamiya springs and the touring car soft set. I should have a good selection.

Thanks
I would suggest Petit RC see if one of these setups would help you. We race on a parking lot track we use Coke syrup but the track is super grippy I copied one of the guy's here setup and after he looked at my car last week the car has on power steering an is really fast! IMHO Try Sorex 32 or a Sorex 34 depending on temps
