My pack voltage is 156. I'm not sure what I was expecting as far as performance but seems like it's good to 35mph then it drops off. It's almost like I have power only to 50% of throttle.

I am using the zilla viewer with my laptop and the throttle reads all the way to 100% and the controller temp is maxing out at 101 F so I'm well below the 130F cut off.

The max amps I've pulled from motor is like 400amps and only like 150amps from batteries.
I'm going to do a few more test runs to see what the controller is reading. Just need to get the wife to give it some juice and not be a girl about it. So I can monitor it running.

OK!!! I officially know what it's like to drive an EV.
WoW is all I can say. I changed the motor amp and battery amp settings.
Now she has a lot of power and is very quick even from starting off in third gear.
A few gear swaps and man this car will fly.
This car is going to get me in so much trouble.
Thank you all for your help.

My new settings:
Battery Menu
BA = 500
LBV = 128
LBVI = 134

Motor Menu
Amp = 1000
Volt = 156
RA = 0
RV = 0
PA = 0
PV = 0

I've been watching the amps closely. The most amps I've pulled from the batteries is 300 amps. I think that this car is so light I will be fine with the current settings. But I will keep an eye on the amps and make sure I don't go much over 300amps.

I get about 260 watts/mile, I have wide tiers about twice as wide as stock.
Need to get my 0-60 time but with the 100 ah pack I get about 50 miles per charge.
I drive it daily and put 30 miles on it using 7.5 - 8.0 KW

I've put 625 miles on the car now in temps from 20F - 80F (West Texas weather).

I have also dropped the LBV setting to 96 volts.
