Changing the C rating will give you a higher voltage through out the flight resulting in a higher RPM. (Power will therefore be higher as described by the equations provided by others above)

Changing the mah rating will help also by slowing the rate that the voltage drops off. Thus having a higher voltage at the end of the flight.


Summary:
Each of the above solutions will work. But each has their own trade off's
Increasing C rating and mah's will both result in higher weights that will consume some of the increases you are achieving.
The Throttle Tech will cost him power at the beginning of the flight.

Did I miss anything??
I am still on the fence on #2.
The Throttle Tech gives a more linear feel to the flight from start to finish. Most of our set-ups have an abundance of power at the beginning of the flight anyways...so giving up a little up front to gain at the back end seems like a win. In my case it probably helps conserve energy as I occasionally use too much power on the up-lines.
