Don't take a chance on getting over-pitched. You can always turn the engine/prop faster. Makes for more power too. Max prop rpm is >3000 so you've lots of wiggle room there, but if you're over-pitched ...
Nothing much good can come of that ... Jim S.

Joe, funny you should mention. I was just about to call Catto and order up a prop. May as well wait for a few more details from yours. How was your experience with Catto? How long was the lead time. What was the final pitch you settled on? With my new engine I need a little more pitch if I am truly going to be the fastest kid on the block. Either that or the ability to turn the prop a little faster... hmmm

What'cha want to know? It's on now and RPM came down maybe 200-400. I
can't be sure how much the prop contributed to the lowering RPM
because I also found the idle stop screw was set wrong.
The prop is a Catto, 3 blade composite. It's 68" by ?? pitch (can't
remember). In another few of hours of ground running at lower RPM
I'll
start to crank it up and let you know what happens.
