What kind of exhaust? (if you have wet headers) Be careful of reversion with too much cam. May want to get around .222 @.050. Depending on the rise and where your water is induced. I'm sure Buiz knows better than me, But I didn't see anyone ask about exhaust.

Thanks guys. I guess I am basically looking for the same performance naturaly aspirated (carb) with a 498" that I had with a whipple and fuel injection. Checkmate 270 Convincor is the hull, it ran a best of 81 mph @ 472" stock magnum heads, mild cam and CMI Sport Tube Lites and 8psi.
Hatch clearance is not an issue, I want to make the thing last and perform. I feel like I am going backwards with a carb and big cam BUT I think it is the best route.

Billy... 296 is a tad bumpy... tone the cam down to around what Mike says, 113-114 LS installed LC at 109-110 is a MUST... I know the boat he's talking about... solid runner, good dock manners... Merlin and Demon 850 combo is great if you have hatch clearance room.. I have a 850 Demon on my 22 Donzi and have tuned 3 others just like it, 2 are 540's.. carb is tits.. wheel it to 5400-5450

have you thought about the crane 741 it works good on the 496 combo with good heads and intake , i have done many of these and that cam with a good single plane intake and at least a 950 and you are at 600+ hp . we did a pair using that cam and the edelbrock victor intake with a 1050 and made 640 hp at 5600rpm , they are in a 32 active thunder that runs 92 on the gps so we know the power is there.
