You need 2 things to answer that question. What prop do you have now, and what is your wide open throttle (WOT) rpm.

Moving this to the prop forum as well.

We need you to answer the stickys at the top of the prop forum.
Make a couple of light load test runs.
We need prop size and wot rpm and gps speed.

my current prop is too eaten up to read and cant run it, currently getting a new OD and the prop is busted. so i guess a better question would be "where do i start" for a prop pitch?
