Default prop question

Guys.....

I've got a 98 312 with 454 MPI's stock. Currently has 4 blade 30p props on it. I'm getting 76 on GPS at 4800 port and 4900 stb.

I'm thinking that might be the sweet spot for the motor/ prop combo....

Was wondering what other 312's were seeing with what motors/ props and so on?

Ya.....it was on GPS. I'd like it to run what the speedo says

I'm guessing from the comment I've hit the sweet spot.

Anyone else out there with a 312?

I'm surprised at that number.
I had a 2000 312 with the 7.4 MPI's, 28p props and ran mid 60,s at best.
