Direct drive may be sub-optimal, depending on your target wheel speed. Try to have the CIM running at about 50% speed when your wheel is at full speed.
This allows the motor to have sufficient "headroom" to pour in the power when needed.
We are running a 775 at 5:1 reduction, wheel speed is about 1000 RPM* on an 8" solid wheel. Our shot doesn't go much higher than the fuel inlet (by design).
*(I may be mistaken on this value, but I don't think it is higher than 2000 RPM)
