Joe,

I don't fear the motor, I respect it. The scars on my left hand, and the short knuckle on my right, denote how I gained that respect.

If I understand correctly, the primary increase in torque is going to occur if I'm throttling up, vs. just going WOT and letting go? The motor also has a Nelson Pipe on it and there is no shortage of power..... I could probably just hold it at a somewhat high angle of attack and just let go.....
