Hey.
I`m ready for another prop.
I am currently running a Mirage Plus 23" through my Bravo One drive (1.50 ratio).
I can consistantly spin 5800 rpm and have seen a tad over 6000 on the tach a time or two.
I would like to spin about 5200 rpm. Engine is a custom-built 489 cid big block Chevy. I have tremendous low-end (engine was built for torque). I am happy with the characteristics of this Mirage Plus prop. I believe that my best intention would be to stay with this style prop, but step up to a 25" or possibly a 27".
My concern is that a 27" prop will hurt my low-end quite a bit. But a 25" will not lower my rpm`s that much, or will it?
Give me some of your thoughts please. Props are one area that I am very ignorant on.
Throttle up...please chime in here too.
