Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks...

I have the same ""problem""! Although it is not...this engine has great mid and top end power but it does lack a bit on low end and especially on a truggy things will be worse.
I'm running a JP-1 exhaust and 1mm clutch springs with 13/44 CB and spur gear combination on a buggy.
I KNOW that a 12CB or 46 spur would help A LOT on my case.
What i suggest for you is to go down on the CB one step OR even two if the track is too tight and short.Truggies are heavier than buggies but since this engine has the top end then no need for high gearing.
