Default ST 2300 speed setup

I am putting a ST 2300 on a 80" sundowner pylon racer. I will be using a bisson pitts muffler with this setup. What prop would you suggest as a starting point to get the most speed from this airframe.

We'd have no idea what prop would get max speed from your airplane/engine combination. We'd prop the engine to turn in the high 11,000's and see which ones gave you the best performance. Because the engine is normally turned below 10,000 RPM, turning it near 12,000 RPM will give you a shortened engine life. Turn much over 12K RPM, and you're going into the "red" area, and could have the engine fail at any point.

Have a 2300 with pitts muffler on Funtana 90 with 16*8 APC prop. Turns about 9600rpm on ground. Change the carb to a Perry carb and tuning is much much much better.
