Well, I've got the stock AE motor that came in my TC3 running. I've got it leaned out, but not too much obviously. It's running on a three shoe clutch with a two speed setup for torque -- the track has only one small straight away on it. On a warm day -- about 75f -- it runs about 230. Considering it's fall here and temps will be in the lower 60's I'll bet it'll run slightly cooler.
