Since you don't say what gauge wire or metal you're welding, one can't give
you an exact answer. But, as a generic comment on mig welding thin sheet
metal, that wire feed rate doesn't sound awfully slow to me.
Having a 90 amp machine means nothing. Other than you can weld thicker
metals than a 30 amp machine. You only use the power suitable for the metal
thickness you're welding. The thinner the metal, the lower the power you
use, and the slower the wire feed.
