Heres the gig.. 312 fastech,twin 454mag mpi, 28p bravo 1's.
great hole shot can even pop up 2-tubers fast. Boat runs 70mph but is bouncing on the rev limiters.. I can tell she wants to go more... I know first off re-map ECM bump rev limiters to 5400 or so+ some extra yummies...
Is it worth the bucks $$$$ to change the pitch up one and pocket blades or even thin leading edge. Or am I waisting money.. I have not put my EMI offshores with S/S risers on yet will do this winter along with Vortch Breathers.....
give your thoughts ole' boating buddies.

Give me fuel- Give me fire-Give me that which I desire.

what year is your 312 ? and what gear ratio are you running. i would talk to Brett @bblades he can tell you the right thing to do as far as props are concerned he labbed a set for me and the boat has never run better.
