Default B-Max

How much speed loss did people see when they changed from an xr bravo1.5 ratio to the b-max 1.3 ratio?

If you don't reprop it you will loose a bunch, but with the correct prop you will be back where you were before or more.

I meant to ask is the BMAX a standard length or -2. I switched to standard length from -2 to see if i can get my BT to hook up a little better and be easier on the drives. I know that the BMAX takes a lil xtra hp to turn, so on a complete guess id say a couple mph lost anyway.
