mine had to be going over 150 mph after steep vert dive pulling out just right above the deck and you can do a knife edges with the rudder on it like mine

I doubt that the plane can do 150 mph in a dive even ... the speed of this plane is in the region of only 90 mph max on level flight.
Deal - your prop with the pipe will give you about 15K RPM or so, the pitch speed for that will be about 110 mph ... deduct about 20% easily for plane's inefficiency etc ... so 80 mph is not far at all.
