Neu motor rpm speed question for BrianG

[VintageMA]

So I went out and tried the 6S setup with the 13/46 gearing running at about 40K rpm. I even turned up the punch control a bit on the MMM.

Results are that the temps were hitting up around 180* compared with around 150* for the 5S setup after 10 minutes of hard WOT running in a huge parking lot.

I will admit that the acceleration and startups were definitely a bit smoother, but this wasn't enough to convince me that for my driving style sticking to around 33-35krpm in my setups just seems to work best for me.

In a track situation with much more technical driving and only a bit of WOT I could see that faster rpm setups working very nicely.

There is no definitive answer here.
