Knowing the spur size does not help us help you calculate the proper pinion to reach the rollout w/o knowing the tire diameter too.
Another factor is that if your using the 189 software from what I've read many guys are reporting that thay had to drop several pinion teeth after going to that version of software. And your lack of speed could be related to the boost and timing that your running your esc at. It could be that your gearing is good and you just need to tweak the esc settings some.
