I would'nt go much past 60. There comes a point where you are no longer gaining speed but just increasing amp draw making the motor inefficient.

That being said I have 1 motor that had to be turned up a touch past 60 to match the amp draw of one that was at 57. This is why I cant stress enough to people that you cant rely on the markings. You need either a inline meter or a motor tester. They are much more accurate for setting up motors.
