Currently I have - 2 sport masters with a 1 inch spacer, you think I should try a 2 inch spacer? Did your 4 blades have a decent hole shot?

I can only get my 525 Glad up to 85 MPH at 5100 RPM. I am at a lake at 2,060 feet elevation. How much difference if any do you think that would make? I assume it loses some power with altitude since its not supercharged. I do have Herrings on it already.

The fastest Glad 525 staggered props are 4 blade 34's. The trade off is that they are not so good gettting on plane. My 30 6 blade Herings jump right on plane, but you lose 1-2 mph at the top end.
