down low it is lacking a bit as well,
(perhaps I am overgeared?)
over 6mins motor is coming off max 137deg F.
Is this the track?:

If so, how long is the straight?
The D3 setup on the SP site is developed for a much smaller (120ft straight), very tight track style. I dont see those setting working well on a bigger flowing track.
I am hoping to get to our local big track (225+ft straight) soon to develop ESC / Motor setups. As a guess, here would be my big track starting point based on the 528 SW setup I ran last year:
Motor Timing: D3, 1 tick advance
FDR: 5.5 to 6.0 (again BIG track)
DDRS: Level 8
Boost timing: 36
Turbo Slope Rate: 6
Turbo Timing: 18
Boost Start RPM: 5000
Turbo Delay: 0.3s
Boost Timing Acceleration: 500
NOTE: I have not tried the above, so PLEASE check motor temps every few laps to ensure the settings are not way off.
