Gale Banks/19 ft-6Cruizer question?

[Dentz]

Does anyone know...what Kind of HP and torque the old banks set ups made....at what rpm 15 lbs of boost ? I know my cam is a lil bigger than the tcs 7 they ran in most apps...and the spec sheet says mine makes power from 3500 to 7000...and I have cast iron merlin heads! vs.the chevys! I am assuming I am making a lil more power than the old days...But with out a Dyno...I am guessing what RPM range to keep this thing at?? I want it to run the best at a safe RPM so it lives a few season! It pulled like a beast to 6000... from 3600 to 6000! I want to gear it accordingly so it loads the motor and also accelerates like a rocket! The way it was..12x17 three blade bronze....Screamed from 41mph-3600 to 6000 then bow set down at around 81 once gps finally read 81 and pulled right...I know gear and prop...but what should I shoot for as far as RPM? I know the combo I have is not cool...I love the acceleration...but I can't hold it for more than a short blast!!
Do you guys with the 20ft day cruizers accelerate juat as hard or better with the bigger gears.....Will it get better with the bigger gear....till I can't pull it anymore....? Havn't tried the new 11-5/8 x 16 three blade yet...Can't wait...
Thanks for the HELP!

Before you run that boat again get rid of the bronze prop. It is a failure waiting to happen.
