Default Battery C rating question - Masters Pattern

I'm looking for facts about this problem I'm trying to solve. I'm flying the Masters Pattern with a 50 size plane on a 5S, 25C, 5000ma battery. The flight takes 2500ma (2.5A) +/- 200ma depending on wind. I'd like a bit more 'end of flight' power. If I increased the C rating to a 40C or 50C would this give me the desired more power at the end of the flight? The extra weight and size will be no problem.

Thanks for comments
