Stratos setup

Just got a jackplate for my 285 XL / 150 Yammie and 23M prop and put it on today. It is a 6" setback manual. From the stealership the prop was set 4.5" below the pad. I put the plate on today and set the center of the prop at 3.5" below the pad. The cavitation plate is about 5" above pad.
Hit 65 MPH on the GPS with 17 psi of water, motor runs 20 when trimmed down. Hole shot is great, very little bow lift.
I am really happy with it and all of the performance it has added for $150. Any suggestions about changing this for more?

Other than that it will be getting a double cup on the prop and line sanding the pad if it is possible to do since the pad is not flat, but I'll add that to the winter "to do" list.
