sorry, any dyno reading is useful ONLY when there's a load on the motor. If there's no load there's
no power generated by motor so its all a moot point.
If you want to make your 'dyno' current readings higher, just don't oil the motor bushings.
Main secret to success in 540 is clean driving. With 540 geared high, it takes so long to reach race speed after a smack you'll be losing 50' to the other guy for every time you hit. Just a few hits and you'll be a lap or 3 behind.
