Max,
Do you have someone near you that can check the pitch on those props? After talking to Julie ant throttle up we either think the tacks on my boat boat are off or those props may be more than 30". When she ran the calculations on what I was running we came up to like 6% slip which can't be correct. I'm thinking it may be my tacks because if I run the calculations assuming you have 1:35 gears that would put you at 98.5 at 5200 at 10% slip.

Also just for your info. I ran a set of lab cut 32 bravos and dropped about 100-200 rpm and speed was about the same. Personally I think I liked the way my boat handled with the hydromotives better.

The engines I had dynoed about 550hp without accessories. I have 1:35 gears. 110mph was the best I got. I would say my motors were pretty close to the same power as 500EFIs as Sonny and I alway ran pretty close.

New motors are in the works. Hopefully 650hp+ NA.
