Default New props

The 509 motors can run up to 5600 rpms @ WOT. Using bravo one's or hydromotive. What pitch should I start with?

Default My day off work.

The interior is new. My XR drives are finished and ready to install. I bought new IMCO external steering and drive showers from teague. I mounted the imco end caps and showers today. I built the A frame to pull the stock motors out. I hope to sell them on OSO. 502/415hp 130 hrs. New EMI risers, dry to the tip and 1" taller and 2" longer than stock. Today UPS droped off 2 cases of oil VR1 20-50, from amazon $57 a case. Next the engines will have new stainless braided hoses as i finish them up to install. I have spring fever.

I looked online at pictures of what others have built. (see-pic) Building the a frame was a task. 2x6x12 double header, the rest is 2x6x14. I used bolts for dissemble and storage. I have a chain hoist pully and engine harness. I with post pictures with my engine hanging.

motors look great. You are doing a ton of work. Not trying to high jack, anyone know how -1's or -2's affect speed and handling on a 32?
Thanx.
