without knowing anymore about your setup, I would say a 25P Mirage plus is good to start. Or a 24P Bravo1
What do you have now?

What is your speed at 5300 rpm's, you can go to a prop calculator and see how much slip you are getting with the 3 blade

My 280 silencer with a HP 500 efi came with a B1 24 pitch four blade. Worked well. Cruising speed with a three blade sucks.I'm assuming you have around 415 - 430 hp ?
