Randy, Prop time. I ran it today. Before with the old engine I was running 56 mph at 4750 rpm's. Today, forgot my GPS and speedo on boat isn't working, but, it jumped to 5000 rpm's and was still climbing when I had to back out of it. Felt like it was WAY over 56, probably over 60. Lake was rough and lumpy, hard to get a good WTO run. Figure she has 5100, 5150 in her, maybe even more. This is all running a 19 pitch Vengence. 1.65 gears in the Alpha. Recommendations?

Also, now that I have a verified 377 hp, 390 ft-lb engine, how much more could I pick up with exhaust?
