Is anyone running a Bravo 1 4-blade on an alpha?
I have the 260hp 5.7 EFI on a Z22. Right now I am running a 21 pitch Vengeance. I am over reving at WOT (5100 RPM) . I have tried a 23 pitch Mirage Plus and it Lowered my RPM's a bunch but did not help my top end.

Any thoughts?
I was thinking of trying out a 24 pitch Bravo 1.

It is my understanding that with a 4 blade you use 1 inch less pitch when compared to a 3 blade. So it seems a 22 inch 4 blade is what you need to try - the 24 inch 4 blade would reduce your RPM too much - equivalent to a 23 inch 3 blade.

I think 22" pitch is a low as they make a Bravo I prop. You may want to check out a Revolution 4 (http://www.cpperformance.com/products/Props/229.asp) if your are thinking about going this route.
