Increase the timing on the motor by 5-10 degrees and use a longer gear ratio.

Hi Alex.i did as u sugested and straight line speed seems ok.its not as punchy out of sharp bends .im running 32t pinion on 84t spur with 27º on the motor.its still cold over hear and the motor is getting to around 65ºC.Would i gain punch by trying a smaller pinion.the motor does not sound revy at the end of the straight compaired to the old gm.thanks

skiddins do you change the gearing for when you change the rotor?
