I have a three blade IVO, and was only able to generate 2250 RPM.  Mike 
Deeter has the exact configuration, except carbureted, and he turns 2200 
static.

In order to test out to redline on the ground, I plan to reconfigure the 
prop to a two bladed prop.  Does anyone have any info if this will get 
me to my 2800 redline?
