Default Prop Guru's

Swinging a Labbed 26 Bravo 4 blade.

1996 29 Scarab Whipple charged 502mpi. I think around 650 HP with the extras done to the engine.Extension box, drive with cone.

Rev limiter set at 5400. I'm only at 5050 RPM. Want to be around 5300. What kind of prop should I try to get me where I want? Should I have them do more work on the 26 or try a whole different prop?

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
Shawn

Try stepping down to a stock 24. Based on the results then think about labbing it.

I would agree with Cord, a 24P Bravo I is a great place to start.

Yes. The Mirage's are an odd pitch.
