5-6A on the "dyno" (actually an analyser) is a no-load current draw at steady state. The motor will draw a lot more current than that during acceleration, and it'll draw way more current than that when it's carrying a load.
That is correct. why does 6 amps (unloaded) work for so many people on track if its a recommendation for setting timing on an unloaded motor?
