Propellor blurring

I'm trying to get the blurring down for a propellor on a plane cranking over, idling as seen during a taxi to the runway, and then revving to maximum speed for take-off. I've got the cranking over, and idling looking pretty good, but the transition from idling to maximum looks funky. I'd like the transition to occur over 100 frames so it looks like the pilot is slowly increasing the throttle. Using the stock motion blur functions of 3DS, I can't seem to do this over the entirety of the animation. At certain frames I have to reset the motion blur settings, but the transition still looks very jerky. Is there an IPAS routine, like TEMPO, that will allow different motion blur settings to be applied to an object over the course of an entire animation? By the way, TEMPO is great for the actual take-off run. The plane buffets around just like I'd expect. Thanks, Bruce
