My initial reaction is:  Wow!,  50" Hg & 4500 rpm. You have way too much prop on that thing!   
Maybe, but I'm not at full power yet, and my GPS says I was doing 188.3kts. Keep an eye in you're mirror during the next race :)
 
What is it? 
I'm not sure about the rpm. My tiny tach is hard to read and seems inconsistant. I need a better tach.
The prop is a 66 inch 84 pitch 3 blade with a blade area of 312 from Performance. Clark said he can cut it back, but not increase it, so we agreed to make it for about 280HP.
