I've done back to back from 30's to 32's, lost 300 rpm's (5400 to 5100, 500 efi's) slight increase in speed.

I have thought about having the 28s re-pitched to 27 and labbed but they would certainly loose some midrange punch.

Dave...you gotta find a job with a gov't contractor on the Chesapeake, there's tons of them and you won't have your altitude issue (I can also mooch a ride on your Flame and pig out on crab sandwiches LOL)

Just don't make me go over the bridge a hundred times

I really liked that area and thanks again for the grand tour in your Vette

The 5 blades do not work well on the Flame. We found theat the Mercury Labbed 32's are perfect for the HP 525's and the Flame. Plenty of low end punch and good top end 93.7 GPS....we have kicked around cupping them to 33's but are very happy with 32's.
