Corner speed is everything, especially on carpet.
Ok, should have added this 1st off. I'm running a Boss Novak, timing is at 35degrees on the "pointer", the chassis is pretty free (xray t4) and I'm running the stock carpet setup in it right now. My motor temps were low 120's after a 5 minute heat. Should I be gearing for a 170 degree temp? I know my setup could be better, but it definitely didn't have the pull out of a corner like the faster cars.
