Instead your motor will get hot because you are taking away the bottom end power.

This sheet was from this past weekend on a track just a little bigger then the one in your video. I was geared 27/72 with 59 degrees timing running my MM Serpent Spyder.
Glad i asked before ordering then haha. I saw you recommend 34/69 to someone else with a rear motor but that must have been for a larger track i suppose. Thanks again!
