Default 100 mph Tigers

I am looking to see if anyone has some info on TS Tigers running high 90's to low 100's and their handling? I will have my new power back from Zul in a week or so and I am wondering if anyone has some experience with these speeds in a Tiger. I am also putting on Imco SCX drives as well. The boat seems to have a pretty high x dimmension so I am staying with stock lowers. Should I spin in or out? When I talked Phil at LipShip a couple of months ago he said when the boat was new and they Tested the boat with 4 blade Bravos the boat got loose over 90 and ran like 93. He also said they went to a set of Herrings and the boat ran a couple mph's faster and was very stable. So I am wondering if I should run a 5 blade? Maybe the stern lift is giving the boat more stability? Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks!

I don't think Herrings are my near future my wife would start holding out on me but it could be something to look for in the future or used. I just waxed the boat and cleaned it all up it is shining like new penny, and just waiting for the transplant.

I've got a pair of 34 Hering 5 blades and 37 Merc Racing 4 blades that I'd be willing to let you try. Could be down that way sometime within the next few weeks.

As always I appreciate all your help Chris! And I appreciate that you did not make any Alpha One comments.
