Ok, what is your goal?
Are you looking for speed or low end or overall performance?

Hi Brett,

Basically a good all around propeller.

Heard the 28 pitch bravo one propeller should do it? Any other suggestions and why? Thanks

I would concider 21 Revolution 4's.
Or, Labbed B1's.
We can set you up with stock test props if you would like.

Because you are not getting enough rpms at wide open throttle. You should be spinning 502mpi's at 5000 rpms.

What Griff said.
Also, the 4 blade props have more blade area and will decrease the amount of ventilation and potential slip %
Your slip is fine but the venting can be fixed.

I messaged you back the other day don't know if you got it. I am running 28s but I have the twin step hual and 500efi's. Brett and griff are right you need more rpm.
