22 progression question....

[22Progression250xb]

Have a 22 progression with a 250xb 1.75 gears quarter inch above the pad low water pick on a stock LU running a 28 et ... hit 70mph at 5500 rpm's and does not have anymore to go i should be around 85mph all day... did a
compression test read 120 across the board so motor is good whats causing this ??? Also another issue if anyone has alternator experience ive gone threw 4 alternators in a year something is shorting them out.

I thought that motor was good to the 6100rpm range. Try a 27 pitch. 85 seems slightly optamistic too me but I may be wrong I would think 80 is realistic though.

Yeah 6100 Is max only got to 5500 and that was it

i think i read trophys work on 22 or so vpad... venomous has one. what about bravo 1. maybe the et doesn't have enough bow lift to release hull. chopper would probable do it like a 28. r's will go up when you cut the drag

"4 alternators in a year something is shorting them out." This is very odd, not that it will cause your low RPM/MPH but that needs to be addressed first. A short usually means you got blown fuse or melted wiring. Does the voltage output stay within spec and not produce a over voltage? What is the damage to the internal ALT?

[22Progression250xb]

I went through everything, checked the ground off the alt, no melted wiring i didnt check fuses which i should....ect... had it rebuilt just got it back guy told me everything fryed instead.

also found corosion instead the plug due to salt water ... cleaned it out fired it up b4 and seems to fine for now
dont know if that has anything to do with it blowing out like that
