My fall project is a pair of 500EFI's. Plan on making 540's at roughly 9.5 to 1 compression. Heads are still being considered. Should hit low 600's on the Dyno.

We did our 500 EFI's. Used Merlin World II Rect Port heads. Compression to 9.25:1, and changed to the Crane 741 came as used in the 525. Mark Boos at Precision Marine is a wizzard at the ECM program and the engines dynoed at 580 HP at 5300 RPM with all the accessories.
I have almost 60 trouble free hours and could not be happier. Kind of wish we had stroked them to 540 while we were at it.
Good Luck

Re: Realistic Hp 500 Hp
I bought my 29 foot Scarab with a new 540 Bulldog that has a Merlin intake, shortened rocker arms, Eagle racing pistons, and it is stroked. It is supposed to have 600 hp, but I have not had it on a dyno yet. I have had it up to 65 mph at 4000 rpms so far with a 4-blade, 24 pitch prop. I still had plenty of throttle left, but I did not push it that day.
