Nice!

Pete35Fountain

so Hydromotive seems to have an edge for prop of choice...which Hydro specifically?

power is 509's, Merlin cast heads, Edelbrock intakes, Holley 850's...estimated HP is slightly above 500 each. pushing through XR's, 35 Fountain, non staggered flat bottom

Call Hydromotive tell them what you have so they can figure which is best, also, they have an exchange program if you want to try a couple different props.

Nice power 253 !

My engines are similar. 496CI ,Dart Pro 1 alum heads, Solid rollers, 10.5:1 comp, 1050 Dominators on Dart intakes, CMI headers.They made 625HP... Im hoping for 85MPH...Just bought a set 30P Bravo1 props.

Nice setup, 30P Bravo1 is equal to 28P Hydromotive, but you need to trim the Bravo's more, and the Hydro's are a sternlifter to help get the heavy rear end lifted a bit for less drag, let me know how the Bravo's work out.,, I will take a guess and say 80-82 on gps.

Dang That is moving!!!!! looking good!!!! I just bought a pair of B&M 250's so I'm hoping for 90 this summer. I was running 75-77 last summer on my flat bottom 35 so lets see what happens.
