We'll try 1:1 tomorrow and try to put on pneumatic tires. We have them, but it's been challenging to get the hub on them to stay straight and not have them wobble on the shaft.
You maybe spinning the wheel TO FAST. Causing slip between the wheel and the disk, which would decrease performance. Try adding a victor and running at slower speeds.
