Default Quick Question about gaining some speed at the track

Hey guys i have a important question here.

I race 12th scale carpet, and i am looking for some speed at the track.

I have tuned my driving skills in and now I need to touch more power.

Right now i am running a Novak GTX and a Komodo 19T motor with 1s lipos.

I run with guys that have the Tekins and 13.5, and i am getting blistered on teh strait a ways. I can keep up in the infield, without problems, but they are pulling me down the back stretch.

I don't have alot to spend so I wanted to throw a few things out there and get some good ideas.

I was thinking of just upgrading my ESC to the Tekin RS ( since it can run brushed motors also ), but would this give my 19T some new found life?

I was also thinking of getting a Novak Havoc 13.5 brushless system for it, but not sure if that would be much faster than what I have now.

I will go Brushless 13.5 later, but out of funds right now, but I do have a little set aside for a new ESC if that will help out for now. ( Or atleast till i burn the 19t up ).

Any thoughts? All opinions are welcome.
