Actually I did put the 7.2 x 8.6 back on and tried again. Now I know I don't have a defect in my engine so I started to fiddle with the prop some. I sanded off just the very tips of the prop, balanced it out and tried it again. It seems all the other times I was very close to getting on the pipe but never did. With the tips sanded off some It did get on the pipe this time. All it took was a very small amount off the tips and it was working. I had no clue that a very small amount would make that much of a difference like it did. I mean it was very little that I sanded off too.

At the end the 7.2 x 8.6 spun to 23,900 to 24,100. I did do the pinch test and I was still on the rich side so I plan to keep it at this setting. It did take a second before it did come up on the pipe guess since it is a bit rich. But when it was on it stayed there and did not come off until I throttled back.

So I have a question now. When you guys launch do you have it on pipe or right before it hits? Either on or off? Anyways Saturday cant seem to come any faster.
