yes... im running the dreaded alphas.. i want to change over to bravos but dont have the money right now for the switch.. just wondering if there was something more economical i could do to them to get more speed.. the alphas have just been rebuilt too so id like to get a little bit of time on them before i get rid of them.. maybe a 3 blade props? the boats about 8500 pounds if i remember correctly..

Do you know what compression and heads you have? Big cams and single plane intakes don't like the 8 to 1 CR of the 330 merc. Your engine combo may be working against you.

I'm not sure of the compression or the type of heads. It was built at a preformance marine shop around my area that the previous owner had built. I wish i had all the specs. Im thinking that they should be built right because a shop built them, but then again, ive seen people spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on engines and upgrades and things still get screwed up.
