I think it's 200 rpm's per pitch? Isn't it?
Try the prop slip program on BAM's website. It will help.

You need Brett @ Bblades to take a set of 30's and make them 31's. Then adjust them so the bow is carried a tad more. Should run 82 - 83 if the motors are strong.

Or try to have the 30's flat bladed and a small amount of cup removed.

Both of the above will likely be faster.

I have a perfect set of Merc Labbed 30s, and standard 30s if needed.
