More HP in 7.4 MPI's?
Hi,
I just bought a 1996 Baja 322 Boss. It has the 7.4 MAG, carbed, I think they have 365 hp each. The problem is that I desperatly want MPI engines, since the fuel economy is better, and they are more up to date.
So I found a pair of the ordinary 7,4 MPI, the 310 HP engine. But I don't want MPI's so bad I am willing to lose 100 HP. So, is there an easy way to get more power from the 310 HP engine?
I would love to swap for a of pair 496 Mag MPI HO, but they seem to be very, very pricey compared to what I will get for my carbed ones.
Any thoughts or ideas from you?
Regards,
Johan

Going down tothe 310 hp motors to try to mod for an extra 100hp, is well, like Phragle demonstrated, a waste of time / $.
You could add a Holley FI system to your mag's if you really desire EFI.

So, I bought these, thanks ICU!
Does anyone know if the 7,4 Mag MPI with 385 HP is the same engine internally as my 7,4 Mag with carbs and 365 hp?
