yeh i race with this guy evey week in seniors class & he is usally on the money,but for the outlaw meeting he also had brand new matched 4200 batt packs,which until i puchaced 4200"si didnt think made that much difference over 3800"s,hence 540 has now become a battery war, because it is so competative if you dont have 4200"s or better it is harder to run at the pointy end on a regular basis
but i do agree cleaner is faster
