    prop vents

    22" Razor 4 blade (with 4 solid vent plugs) on 200 SHO....Hole shot is fine (about 4 seconds @ about 3000rpm). I'm happy with that but for curiosity I want to see what a BIT of venting might do. So, question is, can I just remove 2 plugs opposite each other or should I replace all 4 solid plugs with "small-hole" plugs? Thankyou

    I would try it with all removed.
    I ran my Razor all plugged, then just two plugged, then all open. All open worked best with my SHO setup.

    You can take a single plug out at a time, then if you want to try 2 out I would go opposite. Then take a third out. They do not need to be symmetrical. But maybe 3 out is to much and 4 large is better or some combination
