Bullet Help
 
Have a 1988 bullet .put a pair of 540 c.i. motors in it pushing 550 H.P..Old engines where 502 c.i. 390 h.p. spinning 23 pitch mirage props. i'm thinking i need to go to a 26 pitch three blade props . Outdrives are 1.50 with left and right hand rotation. What do you bullet guys think

I liked the overall performance of B1s {4 blades} better on mine....
I would try a 26 B-1 might have to get it worked to get the RPMs

I agree on the 4-blades, much better ride and an easy 5mph faster at cruise Than the 3 blades. I used to spin stock 26 Bravo1's at 55-5600 with a little over 600HP. With 3 blades Mirage props that were 25 pitch, it would spin 5800.
