Why not? I only ask because even if you can match the top speed by adding boost to a 17.5 it's never going to "drive" like a mod motor. You'll never have the bottom end torque. Jumps with short run ups will still be an issue compared to the mod motor guys.
Like Nexus said, start with low boost settings and go up from there. Being careful to watch for heat issues. Odds are as you add boost you'll need to change gearing.
I'm just curious what you have against running a mod motor?

I don't like how a mod motor drives and don't care for the increased tire ware.. I like the 17.5 and 90% of the time the guys I race I'm faster lap time wise and overall time wise. Heck the stock guys around here are faster than the mod guys . There is like 5 guys that I see which never all show up at same time are bad Johnny s in MOD. So with that being said. I just want that little extra I can get. And I don't need much. Just a little more on the straight really. And around here tracks are not super high bite in my opinion. And on this SP speedo it only has timing to add. I don't see boost? I plan to purchase a 1.1 but is see it's the same settings wise. And for gearing I'll go down a tooth to start. Thanks for the help.

I am having an issue with my reverse not working, I made sure the program is set up for reverse. Is it common or possible for the ESC to stop working in a particular direction? FWD works perfect. I am using a GT 2.1

What profile you running? Did you calibrate your TX to the ESC?

If you are changing from Stock0, to Mod2, or other profile yeah I would always recommend re calibrating.
