Some people aren't used to the high rev sound and think damage is being done so they opt for the lower rpm. Being an old sports car racer, the higher revs don't bother me. This is also were the power is made. As far as the prop goes, A few of us Subaru put our collective talents together and ran the aircraft data through Bates prop optimiser program and came up with a profile. I hand carved a prop using this data. Another friend was having prop problems with his EJ22 equipped KR2. I lent him my prop and his problems were solved. 1500fpm climb, 40degree reduction in collant temp and 15 mph improvement in cruise. He had tried 6 different props and had nothing to lose in trying mine. He has since copied this profile for himself and is flying it. Ron Steber
