does raising the punch% decrease mid and top end speed?

sounds like you guys have a very good point there mike and edumakated. maybe its the throttle setting that i need to fool around with. so put my punch at 10% (which is 90% punch power...i dont know why CC made it this way, it should have been like the brake %...70% brake means 70% and not 30%.) and then just decrease the first half of the throttle setting?
