what a blast.. We took Z bop out this weekend, awsome. everything worked well no problems at all. I currently have a bronze prop on my 270 drive that i had cupped last year. with the engine mods over the winter i am turning 5100 rpm wot. and 56mph off of speedo not gps i think my 302 should probably turn 4500 wot but i dont know what cam i have so im guessing a little. can this bronze prop be repitched that much or do i need a new prop? i have not called my prop guy yet i wanted to hear what the pros. had to say . thanks kevin

Kevin,
I am no "pro" but, I can tell you from experience that 600 RPM is probably 1-2 inches of pitch. Maybe one plus a cup. My prop guy has done that for me in the past. It probably depends somewhat on the condition of the prop though.
