I remember you posting about blowing out when your boat breaks over. I commented a few times on your original post, but wanted to start another post hoping you would see it.
My set up: 20XDC, (325hp flash) sportmaster 1:75's, 12" set back.
I started out 3/4" above pad, 28 bravo. The boat was an absolute beast coming out of the hole with very little to no slip at all when breaking over on plain and pulled so hard to top end it was crazy. Several guys commented that my motor was way too low, as I was thinking it was too, I used to run my 250 Sport 1-1/4 above pad. Last night I decided to go up to 1-1/2" above pad, the boat will not hardly even get on plain it blows out so bad when the bow breaks over, so sounds like the same issue you've been having.
Guess I'll start going down with the motor until it doesn't blow out getting on plain?? I know at 3/4 above pad I had 0 slip or blow out, now at 1-1/2" above the boat cant hardly get on plain it slips and blows out so bad.
I'm not sure what these v8's want, but I haven't cracked the code yet.
