I have a 90 TG .....is this the same rule of thumb for my boat as flat decks on the ton of horsepower, or is the non step Top Guns a little faster?

talked to a 91 topgun owner at LOTO this weekend he had 925 per side and it ran 94 .

im in the process of building 850 per side with konrad drives and blueprinting the hull hoping for 90
