Stock HO with Cmi etops, 74.0 was best w stock 26, hit rev limiter as well, got my bravo 28 back and ran 77.5 yesterday, 5100 rpm, bow cover on with slight wind chop, 2 people 1/4 in both tanks, elevation just under 800' it will obsolutely run 78 when the air and water cool down, still playing with trim, trimmed up 3/4 on trim gauge, boat feels very planted when trimmed that high, its crazy how different the 2 are

I was going to go with lightning till I realized they had to be custom made with the 60 degree bend in the collector for our tip location, price was equal to the polished Cmi stops, which were also all stainless in and out opposed to the lightning, I had Dana's on my old 454 and they are great too, but aluminum

On that scale, my stock 26 was 4, and this 28 would be 5-6, its much higher than I have ever run before, but I was a full mph slower with it at 4
