You're overpropped. It should turn AT LEAST 5500 at WOT.

Is that when you had spark or after you lost spark?<br /><br />Seriously, I'd like to see it closer to 6000. Are you sure its hittin' on all 8?

My engine used to get 5500 rpm!<br />would the power pack cause this to go down to 4800rpm before failing????????????<br /><br /> Bogart.

Very possible. <br /><br />Was it a failed pack? BTW -- glad you caught on to the "all 8" deal.
