Jimmy,
If you want SPEED... use APC Pylon Racing Prop 8.8x9 to 8.8x9.75 D-1 hub. These are proper props for high speed application and they have a thicker hub for safety reasons. Although, you can use the Sport Prop just fine, but not really recommended for high rpm.
The APC 9x10 is too much load for the engine and you will have a difficult time setting the needle and over heating problem. Use what's recommended or the Sport APC 9x8, but NOT 9x10.
To get the APC Racing prop, check the link below...
