Predator Gearing at Liberty Park Raceway NC

Ok I recently entered this class at Liberty. 0.2 mile.
I ran last week on 19/55 that only turned me 4300rpm During practice and showed somewhat competitiveness. now I have read on here that we should try to turn about 4900. So geared up to a 19/57 and we hit the governor During qualifying.
So in the main we went back down to 19/55, the track got faster as usual and we hit the govern again.
Ok my questions are:
- keep lowering gear so that I don’t govern out and keep that roll speed.
- or should I still try to turn up 4900.
5500 is the on stand max rpm.
can someone help and am I asking the right question.
I bought this miter used and was told us was made ready to go by “Leggs”. Now immediately hearing that I felt comfortable that it is a decent motor and the guy showed me his first place stickers he had with it.

thank you in advance

Adjust the throttle stop screw out to 5200 on the stand. Will keep you under max rpm but off the governor.
