    Everybody else with this same setup are running 70-72mph at 5500rpm, at 5500 I'm only running around 60mph.

    GPS speed or Speedometer? I noticed since I switched to the SHO that my speedo is WAY off.

    We don't know what boat you have, if you have a jackplate, what the height of the engine is, what prop you have. But to me, it sounds like a setup problem...but fill us in with some more info and I'll bet someone here has a good answer.
