Assuming you could still get the same RPMS (which we know you won't), you're
looking at approx 41% more thrust.
Engine may take longer to wind up, you'll see less revs but get more thrust
(watch you don't overload the engine), and the prop won't help wash off
speed on landing (something I need on my aircraft).
