I'm not running near the power you are. NA motors dyno'ed at 580 hp each turning 28P Bravo's with 1.36 gears. Best for boat is 93-94 mph small chop and light on fuel. I think I need a tad less pitch because I can't turn them over 5000.
I think you should easily turn 28's. Maybe even a 28 five blade....

Your boat would be a lot faster if you could get some B-max's with the 1.50.

I would say 31 or 32 4 blade would be close. Mabe lab finished. I have 850 hp. B max with 1.3 went 100 mph. Switched to herring 5 blade 30s got another 8 mph. But I don't run boxes so I'm not sure about that.
