I don't think blowout occurs under 85 mph, I don't think you'll see much difference under 80 mph. You may have to run a slightly smaller prop.

At the speeds everyone is talking about in this thread, you should already have full external steering, but if not, DEFINITELY do not do a nose cone without it. The cone shifts the center of pressure forward on the drive, causing it to become closer to a "balanced" rudder, meaning less weathervane effect, and a potentially dramatic loss of stability if there is some slop in your steering.
