Default Prop pitch

So looking over a few post today. Looks like everyone is running a 26p on there 38zx. I'm running a 28p and would like to do a 26. I think I can get another 7mph out of it. I say this cause i can only get 4850rpm at 70mph with twin 500efis. Just ranting got the winter blues. Can't wait for summer!

There is a formula to use pitch x rpm = slip thing do a little research I'm no expert but sounds like you need little smaller wheels.
