But it will rev harder and make the car spool up faster, your problem maybe is that it may be to highly geared and it ain't getting up to speed quick enough,usually as a general setup the car has to be at top speed at 3/4 down the main straight....

I will have to sacrifice speed for longer running times.:thumbsup:

15t will accelerate "slightly" faster and "slightly" reduce top speed. but if geared right will run cooler

and if its cooler it 'slightly' increases the run time :)
