My ski with a DASA 1200 and Maxx 155 pump and 8/16 impeller gets more height with 86mm nozzle than a 90mm nozzle, and still revs out easily. You can hear it slipping a lot with the 90mm. The impeller is good, with 0.3mm clearance. Is there a way to predict what pitch to run with 90mm based on...
Found I had too much back pressure in my waterbox, ski came alive. Also changed compression and running Sunoco oxygenated fuel. Impeller is slipping now, not getting the pop/thrust I want

Found possible water leak on head. Spaced impeller 2mm. Re-checked pitch and it is 8/16. Adjusted back-pressure on exhaust. Sounds a lot snappier on the trailer

The pipe is a custom SS pipe, I think I reduced the back-pressure too much while trying to figure out jetting...
I am running DASA 1200 with a 8/16 in a 155 Maxxx pump and 90mm nozzle. Where the trailing edge of the blade meets the hub there is about 1mm gap to the stator vanes. Ski has thrust from idle, no slip at all. Engine not getting a chance to rev up before impeller bites
