Ive been told that drilling a 1/8 " hole before each ear of the prop will help it spin faster by slightly cavitating it. Is this true and what benifits and or downfalls does this mod have?

I have cavitation holes in my laser. They have plug to be able to tune the prop. I don't know if 1/8 holes would be large enough to do any good.Mine are a lot bigger than 1/8". I can cavitate the woo out of my prop is I stand on it from a stop. So they may do something. I don't have the plugs for mine to compare so I don't know.

Quite a bit of tunning can be done with the vent holes in the prop hub. I also have a couple of smaller hub props that have a removable ring that can be pressed on to take up the air gap between the prop and gear case. I can feel a deffinate diffrence by removing the ring. It seems to mostly change the hole shot and mid range, top end was not effected as far as I could see.
