Going from 2 barrel to 4 barrel will gain you maybe 10-15 HP.

Going to vortec heads will get you another 20hp or so

So from your 37knots to maybe 40knots

Did you replace the batwing manifolds yet

get rid of the batwings before they kill your motor. simply google batwing manifolds

no idea what went into the motor in 2018, however wont change hp much between cheap cast pistons or forged unless there was a blower on the motor. being in a boat, you are limited on cam choices
