i hate nitro, but perhaps too much of a good thing in electric is its own undoing.

100% agreement that folks love to 'buy' speed, and its not track time their buying.
Before you do that, consider the new speedos are at their best advantage with low voltage, like the single cell lipo that is the current 1/12 standard.
In touring car at least you have the 7.4 volt batteries, meaning you already have a tremdous amount of power. Sure you could still advance the timing but you would probably burn out motors before you saw any real speed advantage.
The answer in touring car is to take away traction, in other words go to rubber tire only. Foam tires are great but they give too much traction. Ever wonder why off road doesn't have the same problems with motors?
