i run a 1966 johnson 20h----model-fd20

?? first number is size and second is pitch rite ?

need a new one for my motor,it currently has a 9x9

they offer 9x9..9x91/4,,,9x10,,,9x11 the 9x9 just isnt what it should be,,,,im not looking for qwiker hole shot or nothing but will the higher number pitch give me a little more umf,power,speed,

i mean its only a 20h,,just lookin for a little more.

Welcome ,please read the stickies at the top of the page and get us as much info as possible.
I can tell you we will be looking for rpm and speed. A tinytach for rpm will work and
a gps for speed.In the mean time as much info as possible.

Power...Speed.
Two different things:
Power=lower pitch,normally quicker planing,higher rpm...maybe slower speed(depends;rpm)
Speed=higher pitch,normally alittle slower planing,lower rpm
A higher pitch might give you more speed,if you have the proper rpms.
Not running your outboard at the proper rpms will hurt it,weither it's higher or lower,rpm.
Think of it like a bicycle.
Your in 1st gear(9 pitch) going up a gradual hill...no problem(good rpm).
Then throw it in a higher gear,say 5th(11 pitch)...it's harder on your legs/heart(motor),might not be able to do it for along time(to low rpm WOT).
Probably just as easy to read the above post.
