what prop would you run?

[noyzee]

2003 26 ZT 375hp 496

seems the stock 4 blade is not cutting it.
i love the 4 blade and want to stick with it. im always fully loaded with stuff, people and beer, and love the way it comes out of the hole.
im willing to give up the 2mph. however the stocker seems to be hitting the rev limiter, so im thinking a little prop tweak will help that and maybe get me some speed.
any ideas?
im guessing bblades?

What pitch do you have now in a 4 blade

[noyzee]

thanks for the info.
i forget the pitch now. i think it was 26, its a 15 1/4" bravo.

i spoke to the guys at hydro, they said told me what prop to get. said i have 30 days to try it, if it works great, if not send it back within 30 days and they will work up a new one. this can go untill its perfect. i can not lab it tho, if i do, i own it. so i figured i would test it, if it works i will throw the stock one back on, send it back and have them lab it. he claims 1-4 mph out of the prop and 1-2 mph out of the lab, and 0-1 mph with the nose cone


anyone ever do a computer remap? i run 93 all the time, is there any power to be had from a tune? i know with the cars, i do allot with the chevy, ls motor in the camaro's, vetts etc etc and on a stock car i can get a good 13-20 hp out of a box stock car. add an air filter and a few miss bolt ons that gain 5 hp and then retune and get another 5.
any help would be great.

A nose cone is useless unless you are atleast running 80 on that Checkmate. It could even slow you down

Hydromotive makes a superb prop - cant go wrong.
Ive run them for a decade. they ship on time, they can mod the prop to add or pull rpm as you order.

Good company.

BBlades is great. Been running a 26p lab on a 28zt/500hp=73mph all day long. Can't go wrong with Brett!

This my old ride and Brett does a prop right, totally better handling, cruise, aceleration than a stock merc wheel!
