from what i could tell on a quick run i was atleast 2-4 but it was not great water 2-3 foot chop so i didnt want to trim it up all the way. im guessing atleast 1-2 more is in it with trimming. that was at 3400 rpm over all very happy, and Brett called me today first thing, said send it back he will fix it for me right away to get that missing rpm.
so far so good and im happy with my choice. thanks
