Default prop 35 non step lightning

any ideas on what i should start with?
had 450 hp motors spinin 25 hydros to 5100 fine,,

now have added teague merlin heads, 587/610 cams , dart intakes, been told should add 100 hp per motor? u think?

what prop would work best from your experience non step deep x,, 525 -550 hp ea,, bravo hydro mirage???? 26 /27/28????
any clues would be helpfull

thanks
Jonas

I have some labbed bravo props that came off a 35 lightning with blowers. If you want to try them to see how they work PM me. I'll bet they are perfect for your set-up.

What is the intake volume on the heads? Is there port work? What are the airflow numbers? Duration on the cam? what carb?

How fast do you want to spin the engines??? Probably faster than 5100, more like 5400. Start with the props you have and go from there. Maybe some 27 mirage plus's for top speed.
