In all fairness, I think my gps is set to kts.
I kinda fell into this Danny.
I changed my prop to on ole SST 1 15 x 16p.
I remembered the discussion w 76Redseacraft years ago.
The exhaust gate you speak of is called the rave on Ski Doos.
Remember, pipes and chambers on the old RD 350s and 400`s would wake
up but you could only tune for high or low end HP. The rave gate closes at low rpm
and opens on the high rpm step.
The SST1 has an exhaust diffuser ring design that I`ve not seen on other designs.
I feel this is the magic bullet. The HP bell curve in my factory manual
shows max at 5k. Above that you are just over spinning the engine.
I had the prop collecting dust and just changed it out for the west coast bent prop
award. I brought the trophy, but nobody grounded out, so no award was presented.
The prop just feels so good and linear. I`ve tried a bunch of props over the years.
It is also light and shifting was much improved as far as my clutch dogs sounded.
No heavy clunk like the 10+ lb props.
