Basicly, I am never on full throttle more than a second or 2 at the very most. And that is just on the long straight. I am not surching for a little more speed, don't need more torque, and have never needed to run boost ( but I am running 20* can timing). But that's just me. The tracks I run at are for the most part small enough I get away with a 10.5. Lap times are about 12-16 seconds. I guess I go to a track where the laps are in the 20's, I may re consider. But that is few and far between. And I don't have to worry about burning tires off

As some have mentioned before, it's not motor size that wins a race, it's consistency that wins over horsepower. that being said, I run Revtech Killshot motors with HT rotor and HT stator. great motors in my book.

Keep it a open class everything like that seems to go away not to mention cheaper . Teaches more throttle control anyways.
