I'm trying to better understand my engine. I usually pull my throttle back to 24" and prop back to 2400rpm soon after takeoff to save wear and tear. I was wondering what if I just pulled the prop back to 2400 and left the throttle full in......or leave the prop at 2700 and pull the throttle back to 24". Which would produce more power or which would produce less stress? Also, would the hp be roughly the same for these two settings, 2700rpm/24" and 2400rpm/full throttle (30"mp). Just wondering how it all ties together. I know that at sea level, 2700rpm and full throttle gives 180hp but full throttle and 2400rpm....how much less hp than 180. I'm really only concerned about this down low. Up high my mp is always below 24 anyway. Hope some one can chime in.
