The viewport playback speed in max is a bit wonky can't really be trusted. Animation > Make Preview will give you a quick viewport render that will help you nail down the timing. I bound it to Alt-P I use it so much, or maybe that's the default now... not sure. As far as being faithful to the ref, it seems fine. It's a…
