Cam/headers on a 502 mag
what cam kit do you recommend to a 502 1998 mpi/mag? (340hours)
Do you recommend lightning headers or emi thunder with the cam kit? hp gain?
Something else i need to do when i mount a cam kit?
I going to rebuild the engine this winter, some recommendations?

Better talk to somebody that can reprogram the ecm and see what they have already done and what they used. Otherwise it will become an educated guessing game when it comes to reprogram.
BTW, 340hrs is nothing on a 502mpi. It should not need anything with that many hours.

Do It Right the First Time!
I would agree with Griff, unless you are ready to upgrade the programming and fuel delivery, be careful trying to get 500HP from a 502MPI with cam and headers only. You may end up with some running and durability issues. the cylinder heads and valve train should be reworked and upgraded with these types of addtions to really be effective and reliable.
As for headers or manifolds, I would suggest looking at the Dana Marine flo-torque header manifold kits as they are better at making power than either of the other two manufacturers you listed.

All 502mpi's use oil. Mine uses about a quart of oil every 10-15hrs depending on how hard I'm running.

We have ECU remapping to match this camshaft as well http://www.keitheickert.com/detail.aspx?ID=336
You will want to add an adjustable fuel pressure regulator http://www.keitheickert.com/detail.aspx?ID=877 ,
a free flowing flame arrestor http://www.keitheickert.com/detail.aspx?ID=857
and a performance exhaust system
http://www.keitheickert.com/detail.aspx?ID=9197
There's no debate the lightning tubular header is superior in performance to the EMI exhaust manifolds hands down.
