Good question. We do not promote the Ballistics as higher performance motors (compared to the SS Pro), although I have read reports that customers think that they are.
I'll check with Engineering and see if they have an explanation. SS Pro 60 degrees of timing? I also have a question for the Engr concerning the total timing range of the SS Pros.

What do you think would cause the perceived power increase from the 21.5Ballistic over the SS that I experienced on the track? The hotter temps with the same settings and track reports that racers are dropping 3 teeth when moving to the Ballistic.
Is the Ballistic more efficient?
Am I retarded?
Is it just a normal manufacturing anomaly between these specific motors?
How am I getting away with running 60* total timing on an SS with a 4.45 FDR and coming off an 8 minutes race under 170*F? I've got a spool and running a bit of drag brake too.
Thanks Novak.
