According to Brandt’s calculator the 16125 is 32.79° on a 72x12 and it’s 30.68° on a 60x12. It sounds like 30° is kind of the ideal angle for the trade off between efficiency and wear and cost and so on whereas if you get close to 40° you’re really pushing it in terms of increased HP use and decreased flow rate and increased HP requirement.

I guess a hair under 33° doesn’t sound horrible to me based on what I’m studying but maybe I’m way out in left field.
