Way back when, my 20 had a 406 pushing a little over 400 HP and it topped out right around 75 @ 5200 running a tweaked 4 blade Hydromotive which really worked well in the day, compared to the Cleavers and Mirages, which was about all there was back then. (almost 25 years ago now) Anyway, I know Hydromotives back then ran even sized pitches and I'm pretty sure I was swinging a L24.
Not sure if this helps, but if you drop the pitch and you don't notice a quick change in rpm, check your fuel real quickly and ensure you're not starving it on top. I'm just kind of surprised you're not able to swing a 23 with that much power? I can't fathom you're not running a 1.5 gear, so something doesn't seem to be adding up.
Good luck!
