I get a pretty consistant 160 - 165 mph speeds at about 5.5 gph. I am using an Amyer-Demuth prop. I can turn this prop at about 3600 rpm and 33 inches. I also have the original retracts and the standard Kr-2 not stretched. Hope this helps. Oh, I also have a 50 X 42 prop that I used to fly off the 40 hours, it was much better for climb and burning off the required hours prior to long cross countries. I was able to turn that one all the way to 4000 rpm, but I didn't do that much. The max speed using it was about 140 mph.
