Re: more hp- 500efi
I may be wrong, but I would think a Dominator with 500's should run better than 82 and some change. Every test I've read about 32s with 496's the boat ran 82-84mph.

together with som better flame arrestors this should give you a bit extra. I have not tryed it my self so I am interested in any feedback.

It will be interesting to see what the 32s will do. The factory spends a lot of time testing different props so my bet is the 32 will be too much without some other changes.
The Arizona Speed Marine link looked interesting.

I rode in Dragonheart's 32 Dominator when it had 496 HO's and with 4 guys it ran 80 MPH GPS on St. Clair during the rally. I also rode in Frank's 32 SS with 496 HO's on St. Clair last year and with 5 of us in the boat it ran 82 - 83 MPH GPS.

if I were you, I would look to the drives. Dominator Scott (not sure if he is a member here or not) installed a pair of Land and Sea stern jacks. A Bravo set back box of sorts. He claimed the boat planed better, handeled better, and was quite a bit faster. Land and Sea no longer makes the box, but there are other products out there. Stellings comes to mind. the set back and a shorter lower should give you 5 mph.
If you want DS e-mail address, I have it. He's a great guy and will answer your questions honestly. Just send me a PM and I'll respond.
Aside from drive and prop work, the biggest problem (if you see it as a problem) are the stock heads on our hp500efi. No matter what you do to the intake and exhaust, the restrcition is in the heads. So head work and a cam will yield results aswell. If you want to go that route.
