Default 1/12 scale advice

Just got one of these 17.5 motors the other day and ran it for the first time and I think I'm just way way off on the RPM range on my RS. I didn't want to work it too much right from the beginning so I started very gingerly with an end RPM of 10,000 and start of 884. I know this is probaby totally off for after about 6 mins., came of at 95 degrees. I didn't have the timing advance or turbo cranked way up at all, I just wanted to see how it would do. Before I spend a day and a half trying to figure out the best configuration, I thought I would give you guys a chance to chime in. Gearing is an 81/46 with 45mm tires, somewhat flowing 48' by 80' carpet track. Any help would be great just to get me in the Ballpark......yknow.
