It would mean more if we knew the 16x8 RPM with 5%.

According to Pe Reiver's prop power calculator, which has proven to be quite accurate, a 16x8 prop is 30% more load than a 15x8 prop. Assuming the same brand and prop load factor... Add in the 200 rpm extra on the 16x8 and the engine was making around 39% more power on the high nitro mix than the 5%.

If you really believe that the 25% extra nitro made a 39% increase in power, I have a bridge I wanna sell you.
