Gearing to improve braking?
#2

I don't use King 30s but I have a couple and go much quicker with Sharks. 
I'd start at 3:1 gearing then increase that to get more braking/acceleration.  Smaller pinion and/or bigger spur will give more braking/acceleration at the expense of top speed. 
Have you added ballast in the car?
...smaller dia tyres will also increase braking and the same effect as increasing gear ratio but you'll lose traction with lower profile rubber. 
What car is this in?
