my road car ran 630hp on a std front prop with no problems. it had a haward and scott custom exhaust , the down pipe was 4.5 inch , it just cleared the prop by a few mm .

thanks steven

it would depend on how a 'high power' one makes it's power. if it's increased revs but same torque, prop won't see a difference
