Going from a Mirage + to Rev 4?
 
From everything I've read... looks like I should go down a pitch when going from a Mirage+ to the Rev 4.. is this right? I'm a tiny bit overproped with the 25 mirage+, so I figured all the more reason to go down a pitch with the Rev 4.

Also, I posted under the Swap Shop that I was looking for a 23P Rev 4 for my 24 Super.

i turn the same rpm with a 23 mirage+ and a rev 23 i lost about 1 mph with the rev but a lot better handling and holeshot.

Typically the Revolution 4 will pull the rpm down enough to go 1-2 inches less. It's surprsing zx14k didn't see any difference. Maybe one of those props has had some work or even repair done to it.

Let us know if you would like to try a 23 Rev 4, we have 3 in our test program.

I also lost little rpm going from a Mirage+ to a Rev4 and speeds were very similar. My boat LOVES the handling of the Rev4.

But if you're over propped now you may want to go down to a 23.

FYI - Both the Rev4 25 and Mirage+ 25 ran less rpms and speed than a standard Mirage on my boat.

Yeah... I have a standard 25P mirage as well- it has more slip and needs more trim to carry the bow than the mirage +... I've thought about having it worked and adding some cup to it. Probably would be just about right for my 24 after that... its either that or sell it and work my 25+ (that might be cheaper since it just needs a lab job to get my r's up a little)

I've heard great things about the rev4 on these straight bottom 24s... glad to hear it works well on your Pantera.. looking foreward to trying one out.

I have a 23p Rev4 on my Powerquest 260sx. I really like it compared to my 23p mirage+. I lost about 150 rpm's with my 502 but the overall performance was well worth it. I just wish I could get a little more bow lift out of it.
