27 warlock 502mpi stock/26 stock bravo, 2 people half tank of fuel
72.1 gps.

try mine rob...i use the 32's most of the time anyhow.

96 Fountain Fever, Stage II procharger @ 5 lbs boost good for 84.1 on gps! Still playing with props....looking for 85 to 86.

2000 Baja 232 7.4MPI 60.3 on Garmin76 GPS. Half tank of gas (35 gallons), 2.5 people (2 year old daughter), brackish water (Chesapeake Bay). While it's not the fastest time posted, let me tell you, a june bug in the middle of the forehead WILL leave a mark!!!!:eek: :D :eek:

the numbers sound like the labbing should work out good, before I bought new ones I tried out a set of used 30's with some dings and they must have lost some pull, cuz I was getting more rpm compared to the new 30's I bought. I need the cup to remain in the prop for nose lift, and I am not sure if labbing will decrease that effect. probably just a conversation away with the right lab shop, i.e., lab blades, increase cup!!!C'mon spring!!!!

i'm go'n to lake x to do development work soon....i think i have to do the st cloud race as a warm up right after that....then the fun starts at daytona!!!!

74.5 gps 31 Sonic with the 330's on steroids two people and a half tank of fuel....
