 STAGE 1 PROP QUESTIONFella's,
I am running a new prop on a stage 1 PD. I am wondering if anyone has changed from a factory prop to a 12X14 cleaver. If so, How many RPM's did you loose? ANY HELP WOULD BE MUCT APPRECIATED... |

Re: STAGE 1 PROP QUESTION Mathmatically assuming you could run both at 30 mph - there is a 567 rpm reduction in engine rpms on the 12x14 versus the 12x12....
Real world - 12x14 is a dang big blade to sling with any MM.... _________________ Eat - Sleep - Hunt ! ! ! "It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end." |

Re: STAGE 1 PROP QUESTION Lots of "subtle" science in prop design - like Bdog was sayin'
If they had a return option it would make the testing less expensive you might try to borrow one first. _________________ Eat - Sleep - Hunt ! ! ! "It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end." |

Re: STAGE 1 PROP QUESTION Does anyone have a prop other than that of a factory prop that I could make a run with? I really need to purchase one, but unsure as to which one.

Re: STAGE 1 PROP QUESTION I bought it from Giga, it came off a GDSD. He said it doesn't need that extra blade! JK Man, I wish I still had that prop, It was a preformer. I hit 31mph in my tub with that thing! with just a Mukuni carb! little to no prop slip at all.Nah, Its Willets old/but still brand new prop only used a couple times. and yes it does have two blades. lol |
