Re: I bought my first airplane!
What’s the best climb prop pitch for a 160hp engine? 54? 56?

I would look at this thread. Figure 50 rpm increase or decrease of prop pitch if your prop is still pitched what it is stamped. They tend to flatten out over time.

I had a 58" on a 150 hp PA-22/20 and it was a good performer.
