My setup is exactly the same: 496HO and CMI sport tubes.
The only slight difference is that I have Bravo XR (19" X dimension), which possibly absorbs a bit more than standard Bravo.
Anyway, I'm hitting a straight 70 with a 4 blades 26" L/H Bravo prop, at 5100 RPM.
I did talk to Brett, he confirmed that's just about all I can expect in top speed with this setup.
He suggested that a 5 blades Maximus should improve acceleration without hurting too much on top speed, but I didn't give that a try (yet).

I think you might have a 1.65 drive ratio ? If so a labbed 30 bravo would be about right . I have the same set up minus the headers and am running 69.5 gps stock 28 b1 lefty .. I bought a 30 lab but it is a little slow out of the hole .. I am happy with the 28 .. been thinking about a maximus or 5 blade hydro p5x ..
