Wow! Do you remember how many RPM's you could turn with that prop?

I'm thinking that if I raise the engine height some, I'm likely to get more speed and higher RPMs, which might even allow me to go from my current 17 pitch prop up to a 19 or 20 pitch prop... assuming that I could still reach the recommend max RPMs at full throttle. I've read that these 'zuki 4 stroke engines like to be able to rev, and don't do too well when they are over-propped.
