Default 96 42 lightning with 900hp.. Top speeds?

Ive narrowed down my set up to 900hp engines.. Very interested to see what kinda top speed i can expect out of a 1996 42 staggered. Ill be running new style xr drives 2- shorty's with imco extention box's. And kinda looking for any tip's or tricks to get the most out of this boat. Thanks in advance. -Joe

That's correct, 98-05 had big steps, super ventilated worth a few mph vs the smaller steps
