Default Increasing KE

I have a PSE Nova that's 3 years old. It has the dual energy wheels currently with a 29.5" draw set at eighty pounds (the limbs are bottomed out in the pockets). I recently put it through a chronograph and got a terrible 240 fps. Using this along with my arrow weight of 430.8 grains, I found my KE to be 55 ft/lbs. Anybody know of any little tricks to squeeze extra speed out of the bow to help increase KE?

I have already taken silencers off and switched to leeches. Since my bow is bottomed out, I can't increase weight any further. I also placed 5 eliminator bottons on each end of the string just clear of the energy wheels. That gained about 3 fps for me. I'm thinking of removing the two brass nocks and serving one from fast flite serving. I could remove the peep with tubing, although I'd rather keep that for hunting. Any other ideas?
