Hmm, this is exactly what I do, and while I don't claim to be anywhere close to as fast as some pro drivers in my area, I do occasionally make the podium for regular club racing and once every blue moon might take a win in the local stock buggy class when fewer chassis sponsored drivers are running (I don't have a chassis sponsor), but nobody can pass me on the front straight with my generic $50 packs, the money I spent on my motor analyzer was worth every penny to give me both optimal efficiency and performance because my punch holds all the way through each race, and there's no way you can set the timing to adjust for this tiny fraction of a turn on the end bell to gain that efficiency without an amp measuring device

*** Also worth pointing out that Trinity recommends checking the amp draw on the motor analyzer periodically because the timing on the end bell can get bumped out of alignment.

*** I am currently saving up for a dyno too, though the motor analyzer is certainly working for me based on the recommendation that Trinity provided me
