Motor Torque (gains)

Hi All,
I have a Q about increasing the current to the motors. We are using a van door motor connected to an "arm" the pushes down the bridge. We need to get a little more "umph" from our motor. Is there a parameter (gain) that I can adjust to increase the torque? Are the gains defaulted at 100% to begin with?
We are also physically cutting off 4" from the arm to decrease the resistance to the motor. TIA
Alex

Sorry, during my fluid mechanics lectures on drag I must have been designing a gearbox in my mind. FRC season will do that. - sanddrag [more]
