whatever you have now...go up 4 inches and start from there.

You should try going WOT first to see what RPM they will turn since you dont know how much over 5800 rpm thy will turn. I am not saying that you wont need to go up in pitch or that you should just WOT till she breaks, but making sure it will actually turn 5800 first should be the first step.
