I would stick with 4 blades unless your running shorties, , I would say a 28 or maybe a set of 30P labbed bravo 1s (if your running 1.50 ratio) should put you in the low 80's , the bigger steps were good for a couple more MPH '98 & up

Sounds good, thank you

I have a 38 Lightning w/ small steps. Had 525sc's and was running 79-81 depending on load. 4 blade 26p Hydramotives and 1:50 gear w/ standard Bravo's. I tried -2" shorties and lost speed. A lot will say get an intercooler. I would say sell then 525sc's as a complete drop in and repower if you can do it.

I am looking for what's the best options, I know I will need to upgrad the drive to IMCO once I up the power

sounds like your ok.. I doubt you'll be able to turn much more prop.. maybe a set of labbed 28's bravo 1's would get you into the 80's
