Just had both engines Completly re-done this winter (ouch!!) .
500HP's carbureted on a 97, 35 Lightning. Making 5200 RPM with Hydromotive 27 pitch cleaver style props (running in the low 80's) Strictly from a reliability standpoint, is that a good max RPM or would it be better to go a little taller and run a little less RPM?

Give Matt and Julie here on the board a call. They'll get you dialed in properly. Throttle uo propellers.
