I have a 02 Nordic Heat with a Whippled 496ho and it runs high 70's on gps. I ran 63 to 64 stock at 1500 feet. The Whipple made the boat feel and drive soooooo much better. The Heat likes speed and power. The boat and hull did not skip a beat. I think that it woke it up

Around here (500 ft altittude) that's low to mid 70s boat.
At 5000 ft, you'll have a significant loss in horsepower due low atmospheric pressure. What can you do within reason? Add an intercooler and turn up the boost a little.
BTW, if your boat is a Heat (I think it is), it's a 28'.
