Why are you cutting your tabs off? Are they mounted to low? I ran 380's (31" long) on my 240 and they didn't slow me down a bit when up, and they were mounted closer to the drive than the factory location. My best speed was 89mph GPS with more throttle and RPM's left at the end of last summer.
 
had a 240 myself. took a while to get to 81 with a 540/625. raise the X and add a box. with 1/2 tank of fuel, you should be over 80 easy
 
the trim tabs were to low so i cut them down it work better . .when i ran 50mph there are fine but wotthe bow wt up the tabs went down to much . thats whyi cut 6in :confused:
