Hey Vulture2, That length stream should run just about right with that pitch. I was replying to Hippie that had posted 62 pitch, instead of 26, and just having a little fun.

Hippie had said he was gonna start out with a 62 pitch, and I was just having fun. As far as what you're seeing with the 26, it's a good place to start. A high performance prop of that pitch, or maybe a little less, will probably let you get up to the top of your HP curve at around 6000-6200 rpm. You would definitely see more top end. The Rakers seem to get more bite, and keep the rpm a little low.
