Default what prop are you running on your 22

trying to get some input to find out what props are good on the scarab 22. i have a 350 .30 over, stainless marine headers, small cam , msd , weiand single plane x-celarator intake, 750 double pump holley , procharger at 6 psi, and i think thats it. i have a 23 laser on it now sucks the big one. i have tried a 25 mirage not enough rpms plus didnt like to plain off and a balistic 26 the ballistic was extremely fast on this boat but it was still way to much prop hit 71 gps at 4400 rpms. not sure if i should go a different route than a mirage plus 23. just trying to see what other people have tried. i would like to see around 5000 to 5200 rpms max. any help would be awesome are there any advantages to going with a 4 blade or a 5 blade pros cons


thanks

He wants more RPM, he is going to have to cut back, not go up, he definitely needs a 23ish prop, but the question is, is the 23 mirage plus the way to go, or a different 23??

if i go 4 blade what is compairable to a 23 pitch in a 4 blade should u go up in prop size or down to be equal. i am just tired of testing props. will be trying a stand mirage 23 this weekend so i am hoping for good results.

i do have a msd ignition , a msd timing computer and a msd dis and coil. 30 of total degree of timing do you think 32 is to much? the rev limiter is set to 5500 but dont plan on running the boat that high max i want to run is 5000- 5200

Nose cones really dont come into play until over 80 mph, thats what they say , i have a imco -1 shorty on mine and it has one . I am running about 600 hp and i push a 30 labbed bravo 1 to 82 mph gps to 5200 . ( it gets to be a hand full )
