I'm not 100% Sure on the weight, right around 4500lbs. On paper if I could turn the 30's I would run 88mph, it just dont look like I can turn them. I'm looking to find a test set of 28's to 26's

More testing will be done Monday, I'm going to try a small set of 24'that Sparky has and spin them to the moon and see what happens.

4500 isn't that heavy.......you should be able to turn 14.5 28 or 30 3 blades at 6300-500 and get to the speed you need.
