The general consensus is that boxes do not really help at all.
Shorties should get you 1-2 mph but also increase the possibility of trouble getting on plane. I am adding 1" shorties to mine, so check back with me in May and I'll tell you if it was worth it or not.

I had a friend with an 01 36 Outlaw with 850 HP whippled engines and 1 inch shorter IMCO's and he ran in the low 90's.
I think the best he ever saw was 94. The boat planed and handled very well. He did everything at once and I cannot tell you if the lowers helped or not.
Here are some pictures.

Do you have boxes on your 33 outlaw? I see you have 575's, what props are you running and what speeds?

probably going with the Bravo shop
one's.
Mine has Stellings boxes,
with the 32 bravo's it will run 85
hitting the rev limiters.
With the 32 maximus's it ran 86-87
but was only turning 4900.
This is where the shorties come in
.....getting the 5 blades "dried out"
should pick up the rpm ( and, hopefully,
the speed)
