Tough one!

I saw only those 2 decals at Jasper.

I have never delt with Tillman, have with Performance and absolute great guys.

And never herd anything negative about Tillman.

I believe in my case Performance is better with Bullet than Tillman, seeing how Paul Nickols is next door and related!

At Jasper Performance sure did have a truck load being delivered.

ED Nettles uses his work on Yamaha's and was Number one qualfier and in the semi's in Augusta. And let Bengi Chapman (M.CHAPMAN DAD) use one of Ed's props and he made it to the semi's also. And he had not raced in years! (YEARS)

My 3 cents worth.


Tim and Billy or outstanding people to deal with at Performance Props!

Thanks. I have an ally cut chopper from performance that is great. I dont know if a yamie would be any quicker. Guess i will give them a call. from the results of our grudge races it dosent seam like my prop leaves much on the table.

Dad's Hydrostream actually ran a little better with our 24 ET from Tim and Billy. The ET carried the nose a little better than the Yammy!!

I have run there ET's and they run ok on my boat but a Yamaha runs better for me.

Probably going with another Yamaha style next year from Rodney Griffin or J.C.

Ed runs a Tillman on the Wildcat and it's perfect so far for the class.

Bill, I've been using Performance in Soddy Daisy for the last couple of years on my 2002XR. They are very close on every one I've sent them so far. They worked a 28"E.T. For me and it's VERY FAST!! I'm not saying anything bad about Tillman, just what I'v seen from them. Just my $.02 Mike T.

I use Bob Lipton from St Charles, Mo. his company is also "Performance Propellers" 636-949-3121.

I won M/E High Points in KDBA, Runner Up in SLDBA, Brad Murphy won S/E High Points in SLDBA and Runner Up in kDBA using Bob's props. Great guy to deal with and a fellow racer.

I've got a couple of props Billy at Performance made me and they work great. I also have one that JC did and it's great too. I think the most important thing is making sure any good prop shop knows what you need done. Once they know that any competent shop should be able to do what you need done.
