Hey all, before you rib me about this question the answer is YES I did look in the archives for an answer before I presented it to the world of knowledge LOL.
What should my 40 run at WOT (rpm).. I need more top end and more hole shot...is this possible? Let me know what you all think.

You can have one or the other, not both. 5000-5500 RPM and it has a rev limit at 6100 or 6200

true, hole-shot and top end are usually mutually exclusive but if your setup isn't optimal you might could still improve both.

Head over to the "Prop Questions and Topics" forum, they'll get you set up.
