Default More speed from a Patriot dually???

Just shot the '03 Patriot dually through the chrono today. Shot 296fps w/ a 327 gr CXL250 28" arrow (if I'm remembering right).

Is this pretty much in line w/ what others are getting out of a similar setup?

Yes I know this is "fast enough"... but you know how it is. Just want the most from the setup.

I shooting the 70# limbs and currently it's set at 63# and using the 28.5" mods. I normally have a 29" draw.. but this bow came w/ the 28.5"s and it seems to fit rather well.. maybe a hair short. The cams are in perfect time and everything seems to be setup correctly. I do plan on replacing the string w/ one made out of TS1 (possibly w/ fewer strands than "stock") as the stock 8125 string has seen quite a bit of use... so I figure I'll see a little bit of gain there.. Also plan to up the poundage to 65# (which I figure will push me over the 300 fps mark). Would I gain much if I switched out to a set of 60# limbs and maxed those out or possibly added a set of taller rockers. Other than lengthening the draw a tad.. do you guys have any other tips on how to gain a bit more speed?
