This is a copy my post in the Formula section

Well, I got a chance to run the boat today with the new props.
I still have some dialing to do but the preliminary report is:
99 382 with 1.5 Bravo Performance drives on Stelings boxes 500EFI with head work, bumped up cams and ECU mods ? 550ish HP (no dyno). Light load, 1/2 tank fuel
Lake Michigan, Calm
Water Temp 47
Air Temp 71
14 7/8 x 28 pitch labbed Bravo 1s 3500 RPM 45 mph
15 1/4 x 28 pitch labbed Maximus 3500 RPM 54 mph
Top Speed GPS:
Bravos 76 mph @ 5500 rpm
Maximus 76.8 mph @ 5000 rpm

I'm in debate over whether to sell these and drop to 27 pitch, but I really like the cruise speed and in the real world, WOT is a rare occurrence

Max may be able to be worked even more to pull more rpm.

26 Max is another option.

I prefere the, see what can be done to the 28 Max.

You can probably get a couple hundred RPM out of the Maximus props as Brett has stated but if you can trade them for a smaller pitch you may want to consider it.

Thanks for the input, I'm not sure if higher revs will get me any more MPH but my midrange is awsome with the current setup.
