I'm quite happy to hear that - it corroborates a guess I had about this.

Some years ago, a fellow on another forum did a conversion using the MGR, with something like a 375V battery pack. He used a commercial BLDC controller and the car was a Saturn, if I remember correctly. I was stoked to find someone who wanted to do the same thing I wanted to do. Unfortunately, he gave up on the project because he could only get the car to go 50mph. My guess was that there was some problem with the controller, but I didn't understand enough about what was really going on.

Now the problem is clear - the controller probably didn't allow an Id Iq adjustment, and maybe field weakening wasn't done correctly. Since it was a commercial product (rather than open source) the code was inaccessible.

So - - Open source is the best way to approach problems, and Open Revolt Rocks!!
