How do you figure out what end RPM you should set? I've figured out that the end rpm and boost amount dictates what start RPM options are available, and that the lower the end rpm (and closer to the start rpm) the faster the boost comes in.

What effect does the speed the boost comes in at have on heat? Is a longer period better for lowering heat? What is too much rpm to set as an endpoint?

Here's my current setup:

Tekin RS / Tekin Redline 17.5 / Boosted Stock TC

Motor: 0
Boost: 45
Turbo: 10
Turbo Delay: 0.3
Turbo ramp: 2
Start Rpm: 5000(ish)
End Rpm: 12000
FDR: 5.73

Temp after 5min race: 78*C

I'm going for a little more top speed here, and sacrificing some punch. Smooth through the infield and big top speed for the massive straight is what works at our track.

Thanks for the help
end rpm is based on size of track and motor,your not to far off what size of a track
