I tested my Motiv MC5 17.5T and IIRC I was getting about 24K rpm with their factory set 47 degrees of timing which was showing slightly less timing on the analyzer. I will hook up the MC5 again today as it isn't installed in anything right now. I am running two TLRs with New Wave 17.5s now, which I do not have readings on.

EDIT: So the MC5 17.5 comes "factory set" at "47 degrees" which measured 43 degrees and produced 21,178 rpm and 2901 KV @4.3amps. I tweaked the timing to a measured 46 degrees (so +3 degrees) and got 21,480 rpm 2983 KV @ 5.1 amps..........I realize different analyzers and conditions etc but just some fun additional data points.

That 17.5 is on the slower side, but what is the torque on it? It might not be great for on-road, but it might be a rocket on tight tracks.
