I recently bought a Turnigy 36X74 1600 and it performs better than I expected on a 32" tunnel with a Fly150 on 6S. Less than $100 motor and ESC together. A little less hp makes setup and handling easier.

You may also see with the higher voltage/lower amp of the 6S set up that the mah requirement might go down. My 10S rigger was ballistic and got it done easily on 5000mah total yet the 4S rigger I'm setting up for a friend came up short at 5000 of total needed run time.
