Default HP/speed question on a 31 AO

I am wondering what the speed difference would be if you went from 115 mph at 5200 with 690HP@5200 to 850 hp at 6000. Will 160 hp pick up 800 rpm with the same ratio/prop/weight setup? Using the prop slip calculator with the current slip etc it says 131 is this really feasible?

It might last a while since I am easy on it
