I would go with the Quad IV's again in a heartbeat! With stock 330's I'm getting 63 MPH (GPS) at 4400 rpms, thats 7 percent slip. Midrange is around 43 mph at 3400 rpms. Its taken a bit of time to learn how to drive with them because they need so little trim until your around 54+ mph. With Mirage props I always trimmed right away.

As to your engines, do you know what cams were put in them? I'm in the process of doing something similar with a pair of 365's that I just picked up and I would like to get the 425 hp mark.

Put a set of Weiand 177 on them. Change the fuel pump add full roller rockers, run them at 5 psi and I would guess your at 425-440 PSHP.
Then if you want more later, upgrade the exhaust, valves, add a crane #139011 cam and get up around 500PSHP.....
Then add Alum. heads, add intercoolers, more boost 575PSHP?????

Not interested in going the blower route, a simple cam change with better exhaust and I'm at 425. Blowers are a big pain in the a$$ plus they use more fuel than the same HP N/A engine. My last engine in my 242 was putting out 525 hp out of a little 439. It cost some bucks but it was problem free and ran great.
