Watch water pressure. No sure how much water pressure that motor needs but someone on here can tell you. If it was me I’d keep it at 15 or more

If no low water pickup then you likely about as high as you can go. To run above pad you will need a sportmaster or coned lower.That is what I meant by what lower.

IMO, a Bullet is just designed for a surfacing prop. I run my 20XD 1-3/8 inch above pad. I suspect most 20's run and handle best in that range. If I had a lower with low water pickup I would at least try it before getting rid of it.
If it is running 72 (gps) with motor set that low that is not bad. You are a little light on horse power but with a sporty or a quality cone job I would suspect upper 70's possible if not likely.
