25 rage w/ 496 HO and ECM upgrade Prop Selection
Does anybody have an idea on what prop would be perfect for the a 496 HO in a 25 rage with an ECM upgrade. The ECM upgrade takes the engine rev up to 5450 from 5200. I have heard that I might actually want to go down to a 22P to take the load off the enine, but I dont know weather to stay with the 24 or go up to a 26 or down to a 22. Has anybody had any experience with this.

nordic runs a 26p bravo on all rages i beleive, not sure i would do the ecm because from what i've heard around here that is only going to hurt your motor in the long run, these motors don't make any additional power over 5100, so why rev it over that? you need to keep rpm's around 5000-5100, run that 24p bravo and get some accurate rpm readings and go from there, seeing your from va i'm thinking you need the 26p

The upgrade to the ecm was done before I purchased the boat, I will more than likely test out the 26P to see if that gets me right at the 5100 range. Stock the rage comes with a 24P. Appreciate the info, please let me know if anyone has more. All the knowledge helps!
Thanks again

Read my prev post and made an edit: I put stiletto instead of Spinelli Bros prop. Had a couple of beers then
Elevation here on Mississippi river is 572 feet.
Closed bow.
rpm with the BBlades 26p prop was 4700 wot, the Spinelli bros 27p was right around 5000 - 5100 wot. stock gauge so hard to be real accurate on rpms!
