I have found that in other applications on Cessnas, Luscombes, and Grummans, that the Sensenich prop seems to do better both in climb and speed - However, I have a 135hp Pacer with a McCauley 74-55GM 1A170 Prop by McCauley STC Sa1-23 Its seems to do what it should - Does anybody have any good comparisons between a Sensenich 74DM series and a McCauley 1A170 GM series props of the same 74" dia on a Pacer?

Thanks for the feedback - were the sensenich and mac fixed pitch props of the same diameter and pitch?

They were Fixed, repitched the Sen to climb and finally threw the Mac at it and went longer and got what I was looking for. On the Constant spd we have found the same the mac with the wider blade has more pull. For what we are doing I need more climb than cruse so that is why we have done what we have.
