Default RE: Wattage live wire

I flew the Livewire for the first time last night. I have a 9.6 volt 720 Mah pack and a gws micro flight pack with a wattage 30 amp ESC... It flies ok, but I had to add (so far) 1/2 oz to the nose.. It is still a little tail heavy and it labors a little to get off the ground.. I think I need to squeze some more power out of it... Are you guys using the stock prop?... Would I gain anything by going with a slightly smaller diameter and pitch unit?... At 9.6 volts I think I am maxed out voltage wise right? If I go with a PJS 1000 brushless motor, wont I have to upgrade the ESC?
