you can use FEdit+ to edit boot blocks (current version is 1.0.7 I guess)
and there you can edit the default system heap sizes.

do not use it to write default boot blocks as it writes and old version of the
boot blocks.  current boot blocks version is 22 I think.  this version will
not (NOT) work on a vanilla 512.  Fedit writes version 18 which will work
on a vanilla 512.  so if you create a startup disk and it when you try to start
up a 512 with it and get la bomba, use Fedit+ to write some old boot blox.

hope this helps
