1.5's and 6 blade 17" 38 Herrings I believe. They might be 39's?? Its been so long since I saw them on the boat..I forgot. The gears may have to be swapped out now...we shall see.

What are you running?

17's you say. Isn't that the max on the -4's? Didjya, didjya?
Or are you spacing the standards down?

Shooting for 1000HP+....Eddie has to work his magic. Relativley small displacement (555ci) and small blower (3.3l) might make it a little of a challange...we will see.
