Great advice so far. Ill add that you need to think of the plate motors just like a Nascar daytona race. Wide open throttle all the time. The gearing should allow this for the most part, sometimes its not possible but most of the time it is. I ran our red and green plate motors maxed at 5900 to 6200 rpm. That was it. We are running a purple now and max it at 6400-6500, wide open.
A tip for teaching a young driver wide open throttle is to gear bind the motor. Basically making the driver hold the throttle down to make speed, then take a couple teeth out of the gear every run until the rpms drop and lap times pickup. That should be right in the zone, but you can play some more and find more speed.
Our unrestricted clones are at 6700-6800 max.
