Those finals will run fine at the boosted voltage. It's well within the transistor's specs. There is no sence to push an extra 10 or 20 watts out when you are already at the 100w level. Get a high SWR for that one time oops and those finals will say, I'm out of here. I run mine stock to drive an amp with two 3-500Z tubes (Drake L4B) which gives me 1100w out. Plenty. Let it loaf along; stay clean. Getting great signal and audio reports. Wonderful, quiet RX too.
