Different brands of props measure their pitch a little differently. I had a Props, Inc. 52-50 that would only turn 3,200 on a 2180. I switched to a Sterba 54-52 if I remember correctly and I picked up about 150 RPM, 5 MPH, and at least 100 FPM climb. I highly recommend that you call Ed Sterba. He is a master and he knows KRs very well.
Anyway, if you uped the pitch of your current prop you would lower the RPM and probably loose a little speed and a lot of climb. The VW will produce more power in the 3,400 to 3,500 RPM range. I wouldn't increase pitch while only turning 3,300.

What are you guys running. Iam currently running 52X50 on my 2180 V.W. I can turn it to 3300 and am getting 150 M.P.H. Just wondering if it would pay me to move up a couple in pitch.
