I have a Chevy s-10, lead sled(4500 lb.) running a 9in. motor. Top end on dc motors are usually around 5500 rpm. Check with Warp, but I think you'll find that you need to run around 4000 rpm and that you are hurting the motor and creating excess heat buy running at low rpms. If you can get your car on a chassis dynomometer you will see exactly where your torque drops off and when to shift.
