I guess I could put a bigger spur on but my gearing already seems out of line with what most folks are running. So will decreasing timing get the motor to max RPM faster, not just as a result of the max being lower but because the motor has more torque? Right now my timing on the motor analyzer is 49 and it’s coming off after 5 minutes around 140.
