Motor Timing

Hey, I was just playing around with an armature out of a tamiya black motor the other day.
I put it in a modified can, and cranked the timing all the way up.
Needless to say, the RPM rose, but the torque dropped off.

When is too much timing too much?

By the way, it was balistically fast... But it generated a lot of heat... and run time was down. (From 20mins to 12.5mins)
I also set it at standard, and also, the "most efficient" possition.
Both of those were slower, hence not as fun.

Do any of you guys play with very advanced timing???
How about any of you guys with dyno's, what is their diagnosis?
