I just went through this on my 5.8L 238 vista.

I had a 15x17 blade and then I went to a 15x17 4 blade. I definitely picked up some launch torque and it got on plane a little faster. I'm running at 4400rpm at WOT so I ordered a 15x15 4 blade that should be arriving this week to be installed this weekend. I'd look at your max RPM at WOT right now and then adjust pitch accordingly.

The good news: props are CHEAP! $100ish. Order from amazon. ;)
