Nevertheless, slip numbers are high in both cases. . 1994 Cigarette Top Gun - Arnesons - 28 RAKE. 27% slip at 3500rpm. 5 BLADES. I think the only way to help my slip is to convert my props to round ear or change to 6 blades. It all cost a ton of money and you will still be guessing. It's all a gamble.

Educated guess maybe. Experience as well. But, every identical application is different.
What kind of 27 degree rake props do you have?
