Exclamation Intake Motors...

As of right now, my team is using Andymark PG71 gear motors, mated to the AM-0914. We are running into difficulties with the speed the motors are running on our intake arms. These Andymark Motors are not running at the speed we need to be able to suck in the totes properly. A weight is an issue on our robot, but we need the speed.
I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations on anyway or any other motors with a gear box that will help?

What gear ratio are you running your intake wheels at? 5 to 1, etc......???

Maybe a BAG motor with a gearbox from VEX? I appreciate any ideas and references to a specific set up that will work!
