Default mega 16/15/4, did i make a mistake?

i bought a mega /4 as it was available, read several threads where people were happy with the speed (mostly Stembridge from wingwarrior and a thruster) on 8 cells. these are kan 1050 and 800AR cells, both handle 20 amps i believe. CC phoenix 25 using a carbon 5x5 spoon prop (hoping to get some rpms) im very disappointed in speed.

no faster or better than a speed 400 or cobalt i bought...

numbers are as follows: 14amps at 17,400 and 122watts on 8 cell
tried a 10 cell, and got 15 amps and 18,300 or so and 140 or so watts.

my friends have the mega /3 and they still blow me away on 8 cells. 10 cells didnt look any better just on the ground.

am i propped right or do i need more prop and more cells or? anyone wanna swap motors?

the batteries they use are the kan 1050's as well..
