I have absolutely no experience with a vandal but 6" of setback sounds like way too much. I guess I would start with a 22pitch and see what you turn for rpms.

There are a few strong runners (Vandals) on the Hydrostream Power Tour.

Touch base with FlowMaxx at the Power Tour thread at Scream and Fly. No doubt he can put you in though with the Vandal guys.
