Spitfire prop ?

[SkiDad]

Anyone swapped their prop for a Mercury Spitfire ? If so, did you stay with same pitch or go down ? The website says something about 25% better hole shot with no loss of top speed. Didn't know if that was realistic or not ?

I found what I believe was an independent test of the Spitfire on a 90 hp.
13 1/4 X 17" 3 blade replaced by a a 13" X 17 Spitfire. TTP was a second faster top speed .2 faster
amazing grip and control.
