You'll need more weight in it for the 300 tune if that's what your asking...
Why not switch it to 300 and find out?

Like Mike stated either tune requires 8800-8900 rpms so if you are now only at 8600 change ramps of primary spring,with a higher finish rate.I was in the 300 tune actually I was told 8800 is were I should be with the 300

Take 1-2 grams out of the weights. GENERAL rule of thumb----1 gram =200RPM

I thought you said you were 16 lbs and 8600. That's where the 240 tune runs is 15.5 lbs to 16 lbs or so.
300 is up at 19.5-20 lbs.
8800 is where all the tunes should be according to Hurricane, however I find them liking a bit higher than that in the field. I like to see them up around 8900 even ticking 9k depending on conditions.

I set 270 at 8800 since this is the tune I run most!
300 will rev around 9000 and 240 will be at around 8600.
From the dyno sheets I've seen 8750 is max power
