prop 35 non step lightning
 
any ideas on what i should start with?
had 450 hp motors spinin 25 hydros to 5100 fine,,

now have added teague merlin heads, 587/610 cams , dart intakes, been told should add 100 hp per motor? u think?

what prop would work best from your experience non step deep x,, 525 -550 hp ea,, bravo hydro mirage???? 26 /27/28????
any clues would be helpfull

thanks
Jonas

I have some labbed bravo props that came off a 35 lightning with blowers. If you want to try them to see how they work PM me. I'll bet they are perfect for your set-up.

running same boat diff power 502s w/cams intake,carb dont know internals . spinning 27 mirage 78on gps got a pair of 26 hydros didnt like the feel was 2mph slower. having the hydros labbed. bought used had extra cup, and? what speed was toyrs running before mods, do you spin props in or out what exhaust are you running

Griff 05-13-2003 11:21 PM

How fast do you want to spin the engines??? Probably faster than 5100, more like 5400. Start with the props you have and go from there. Maybe some 27 mirage plus's for top speed.
