Well got the boat here ran it a couple weekends and it runs great but decided to be in the safe side I would go ahead and freshen up my engines with new valve springs and bearings then I said what the hell wile I am this far I might as well go ahead and put the kits that the guy from Ateco sells on them which is new dart aluminum heads and a cam and computer change I am hoping for upper 90's what do y'all think?

I think that I am out of breath from reading that.

On a serious note, safe is expensive. With the deal you got, I would be all for the most bang for the buck!

Well....we have the same hull...I've got -2 lowers, boxes, and blueprinted hull...570 per side is getting me mid 80s. To get high 90s, you are gonna have to put some hp in there...and start worrying about your drives...
