strongly disagree here. Going from my 271, to my buddies 292, to my 312 they all had increased cockpit space

My slip is 7%, so I'm still too deep.

Must have been using the water pressure speedo. I had a set of 420's in this prior, with Gil dry to tip exhaust, Dart intakes, and replaced the cams with Crane 741's, these were basically HP 450 clones, and the best I ever saw as 70 on a GPS speedo. This was with stock drives and stock drive height.
