I think I have 10 drag, boost/timing about 15/16 each no timing on the motor. Punch about 7

We have a long straight and I just want a little bit more uuumfp!

I had it sussed with a vampire 5.5T I drove 81/20 for about a whole pack and that was around the 50° mark but I wanted to test the SP motor.

Am I way off with the gearing?
A SP 6.5 would run like many other 7.5 motors right? Im then thinking that I might go up 2 teeth to a 25, or is it better to go to an 84 spur as well?
We run 20 or 21 pinion on Malin's XB4 with a Tekin Redline Gen2 6.5T depending on track size (with stock spur)
