you could prolly drop to a 19 and get the rpms up to like 5200. you might pick up a few mph by spining the smaller prop faster.
the best bet would prolly be a labbed 21 pitch

Try a 21 Mirage plus might get you to 48 or 4900, as far as the wind I had an 87 excel with a full windshield and hated it there's no standup bolsters in these floating crappers so I either looked thru the shield orsat on my foot to see over. I'll admit the fairing does look alot cooler. Try those wind flaps I was contemplating getting them as well.
