Brushless motor reducing fps considerably. Is it too fast?

A few months ago I got an E&C M110A1 (basically an HK417) and while the body is great I've had to do a lot of work to get it to perform like a DMR.

This week I've tried putting a brushless motor in and the performance dropped, quite significantly and I can't really under stand why. With the stock motor I'm just about reaching 300fps using 0.43g but with the brushless motor it drops to 240fps. I recorded the gearbox firing without the body, and the piston is travelling the full length so I don't think it's short stroking.

Any ideas what might be causing it?
 
It's possibly so fast that the cylinder can't fill with air before firing?
