.503".510" with 1.5 rockers
.537".544" with 1.6 rockers
112°
====================================
So, 425(9:1)-450hp(10:1) capable with RPM Intake and a good tune w/dyno headers.
Difficult, but not impossible for a Quadrajet carb
=======================================
How fast are these boats with a stock 300MPI or 330hp/454 ? hat prop man/model came on boat new with what motor?
For the rest of us that don't know what the OP's model boat style and bottom looks like:.

Maybe, lots a variables in there and slip reduction is good, but sometimes a bit more slip means higher mph. All depends on how well power is transferred from the motor to the prop to hull

JET Performance sells Stage 2 and stage 3 Quadra jets. I am thinking on purchasing one. What do you think. I also was looking at Aftermarket EFI Kits. hard to find one without O2 sensor.... Like FITECH.
STOCK 260 hp merc would say 46-50mph depending on prop.

Whoever is doing the carb. call them and give all specs of engine and boat to order,
Your compression is a little too high for my tastes. Kind of Okay for a LS motor maybe, but this is an old style 23* degree motor. Interesting. 2nd small block here this spring with that high compression.
