Default Tuning ESC with Throttle

Here's the situation. I'm running a test set up of Midifan, Kontronic 600-17, Jeti opti plus 70 amp, and two 3s1p Kokam cellpro 3200 [20c] in series for 6s1p. Initial run up showed 1200 watts Plus. I did this several times for very short period just to verify the readings. What I want to do is detune the power at the top end to around 950-1000 watts. I did this before with a different esc by adjusting throttle end point and center but I can't seem to duplicate the results.It's an Airtronics RD 8000. I have set the end point back to allmost 70% and it is still running up to1100-1200 watts. Is the speed control readjusting to the new full throttle signal and adjusting it's power so that is now the same power output as before? Maybe my theory on this needs some rethinking. What do you guys know???? "The Bates"
