How much rpm????? A 2" drop in pitch is worth about 400rpms. Having your current props labbed would gain about 300rpm.

Call Brett at BBlades and give him your numbers he will set you in the right direction. My Cafe picked up 3.5 mph. with his prop work.

Probably could use a little more information:

What Drives?
What Props are you running?
What RPM are you currently seeing?
What HP do you estimate you have?

Well - on a basic level I would say you have too much prop. I run 26 Bravos on my blown 502's (mild blower probably about 575HP).

Is that 71 on GPS? If so that is cooking with 460HP in my opinion.
