Default 33 avs - am I heading in the right direction?

Bought a 98 33 without power and getting parts together now. Bought a boat with the old 525sc motors, stellings boxes, and 1.36 bravo drives with nosecones. I am getting chillers, cams and upping the boost. From what I can find they will be a solid 600 hp.

The boxes are adjustable with anywhere from 7/8” - 3” rise from what I can find. I did not pay enough attention to know which nosecones are on the boat.

What can can I expect out of this package? Would shorties in addition to the 3” rise from the boxes be beneficial or too high?

Will 1.36 hurt me enough to necessitate 1.50’s?

Cant want to get this together and the weather to break.

Stellings boxes are neutral in the top hole, up 1” in the middle hole and up 2 in the bottom hole, it’s been said that the bottom hole is tough on the u joints though.... since it didn’t have boxes, I’d probably go middle hole and 2 “ shorties...I’d go 1.5 unless you’re running out of prop with 32” pitch, 33AVS is a fast hull and respond well to power
