Can someone explain this for me?

I am running a 17.5 Fantom Ion motor the timing is at maximum (20deg). I also have a SP GT 2.0 with the latest software installed (again everything at the maximum settings).

I geared one tooth higher on the pinion so the FDR went from 3.84 down to 3.72. I was really expecting to overheat the motor, but not the case.

Not only did the car go much much faster, the unusual thing was the motor temp after the 5 min run dropped (was 167 F it dropped to 144 F).

So was I under geared initially?
