I'll do some testing of my own once I'm further along in the conversion process but was wondering if you had any data to share.
I'm obviously not glassdoctor, but I recall him saying he got 120-130A peaks according to his Eagletree on one of his buggies (running 4s and a Neu motor). I think you'll probably want 2p on that A123 pack. A 1p pack at 30C would only be delivering ~60-65A and with a decent voltage drop.
