Talking Good & Bad News on Props

Well, I got my props back from Houston Propeller.

They look GREAT!

I was hoping for a gain of about 200-300 RPM, but I lost 2600 RPM. But I gained 9 MPH>

Yeah, put them in the bed of the 2001 Ford F-350 PSD and the best I could get going home yesterday was 2500 RPM, but the damn thing ran 80 MPH.

There was light chop on the highway, humidity was low and the temp was 54 degrees F.

Darin, I don't know how you do it, but that is some real black magic if I have ever seen any! LOL

Had to pull your chain dude!

Have a good day!
