Thanks, I ran the boat with the 140 on it for the first time yesterday. 34/35 mph. I thought it would run a bit faster. I only ran it for a few minutes cause I was on a 10 hp lake. I think with playing with the trim and a little weight distribution I believe I may gain a few more mph. I was at 5900 rpm. Mace is 6300. A balancing act for sure. 

if you have a great hole shot but want a little more speed you might try going up 2 degrees in pitch. but this will change your hole shot and might give you 2 or 3 mph. if it's running that close to max hp you will gain some RPMs and gain speed. myself, I wouldn't think about changing anything unless your hole shot is very poor then I would go with a rev-4 4 blade prop.
