Yep, still just 104. It'd be nice to hear if anyone tried 6 blades on my setup, 19.5"X w/SCX-4. My slip is at 16-18%. 16 with a 35P and 18 with a 38P. I think it'd run better with a smaller prop and less slip. The extra blade helped on the Bravo set up.
Can't wait to hear how your hull does after blueprint.
I can do small glass repairs but if I tried it in a large area it would look like Tammy Faye's face.

I went from 94 to 98 by blueprint.. I have some more tweeking to do . Should be into tripple digits here soon. the thing is. You have the bigger steps w more airation. My bottom is pretty mint right now. I been a bodyman for 30 years so it's really nice You ran 102 before w about the same hp ( around 700) and the bravo props. If i can get to 102 that would be completly Amazing. I'm at 12% slip

I would take advantage of your intercoolers. With stock boost they aren't really doing what they are capable of doing anyway. Pulley down to 8lbs, tune, run 110mph and you won't have to worry about MCPro creeping anymore...

So 4#'s isn't enough?
I'd love to up the boost but not off the dyno first. Maybe next time around.
It's real hard NOT to tweak things while I'm sitting here waiting for summer. The only thing that helps is to watch the bank account go the right direction......for once!

I am at about 6 , I figure we are in safe mode. I heard 1 guy running 9.5 intercooled. I would just be concerned w nipping a piston by going up in boost. Both motors would have to be out of the boat and remapped.
