Ursus,

There should be about a 10% differential between crank & prop HP/Torque. Based on your prop numbers, the graph looks very accurate for crank numbers.

Ok I hate to quote my self but

Quote:

---

has a max torque of about 416 ft lbs /405 ft lbs @ 3500 at the crank/prop not 450 ft lbs

---

Thats 416 lb ft at the crank

405 lb ft at the prop

not 450 lb ft anywhere

Sorry maybe I wasn't clear the 1st time, I did make a mistake in my 1st post tho the peak torque should be at 3300 rpm


Peak power is at 4700 rpm btw altho the curve is pretty flat and I would still prop for 4600 the original question

thanks "U"

what curve are you looking at, can you post it or tell me where to find it. I understand what you are saying. jsut want to see how flat. with the info you told me, I may now pitch for 4700 with fumes and myself on a cool day. then be at 4500-4600 with the 3 buddies and some fuel. wanna see the curve after 4700.....
thaks for all the replies

sorry I don't have a postable copy of the curve, I am looking at the peak #'s,, the flatness of the curve at peak hp is my recollection

ok. here is my plan

I will tell him that i want the same "effective pitch" when done, or if anything, a very slight pitch increase (1/2") to maintain my cruise at 40mph/3000rpm.

I should then be able to pull more speed because i can now reach 4700 with identical pitch or, if he repitches a little, still gain some speed at 4600.

really just want to break that 64.99999 mph barrier Ive seen on my gps

done... thanks.....next

URSUS I here you about quoting your self BUT YOU must have not read my post and only loked at the picture so here it is agian. Charlie


"is desktop dyno accurate for my peanut port 330's of 1988 vintage? can anyone plot the desktop dyno curve here. tomcat??? how flat is it at 4600? " RAM

sorry ragtop my quoting myself comment comment was directed at

Thanks for giving us the desktop dyno guestimate , My original post was just to note the guestimate was somewhat off in the torque #'s
