Am I corrrect? :S
You can do that, but you might get alot of heat in the motor. You would want to change the RPM/Unit setting to a higher value,and calculate your start and end rpm. I have been finding an End RPM around the 2/3 max RPM, to 3/4 MAX Rpm to be perfect. (If I knew what the max rpm was.)

I setup my timing so the turbo only kicks in on the straight away (but it kicks in right at the end of the boost). And I have been raising my start rpm to keep the motor cooler on the infield, and still have good torque.

The boost ramp (RPM/unit) is what controls the "smoothness" of acceleration and power delivery.
