Default Miss Vegas w/stock OS 18TZ - Prop?

Just curious what would be a good prop to start out with for my Vegas. I picked up an OS 18TZ (no mods) and will be running 30% nitro. I have the Grim turn fin and no sponson mods. I also have the strut modded with a deeper slot so it can be raised higher if needed. Stock drive cable with a 1/8" prop shaft.

Thanks in advance!

When I had mine I ran a octura 438 but this weekend at the winter nats I saw one running a y535 with a modded tz and sponson mods. It was really fast.

M440 with sponson mods radared at 48/49 w/TZ 18. You can make a slip fitting with a piece of 1/8ID brass tubing to adapt the 3/16" dia. props.

I've never run the M440 on anything other than a MV w/sponson mods.

I guess it's a matter of personal opinion because I run a 440 without sponson mods no problem

Thanks for the input guys. I will try the M440 without the sponson mods first. I also have a Y535 that I was using on the stock motor. Will try that as well.
