I want to change from a wood prop to metal to improve High altitude performance. Do not seem to know where to look for prop specs.

I would expect it to be in the TCDS. If not then you need a feild approval. Does that help?

Most of the catalogs like wag aero have manufacturer's recommendations for cruise, climb, and standard props. I think some of the manufacturers are online also.
