Our basic 500EFI kit put on a stock engine is 575HP. To get the 625HP we put new higher compression pistons, and we use a mono blade throttle body and port the plennum. If you have further questions on our packages give us a call.
Thanks

I'm at 625 with 500EFI, AFR 315 heads, cam,injectors, big throttle body and change computer. mind you when you change all of this, you need more of a fuel system as the 500 efi stock one wont handle it. Dont ask me how I know...kaboom... beware of anyone trying to tell you any different. Oh and it runs on 87 octane

there is no way in hell that by doing all these mods and not changing the fuel pump and injectors that it will live long, you physically cant put that much more air in there and expect it to last.

from my tank was fine, but the 500efi pump once it goes into the cool fuel drops down to fitting that is less than 3/8's wide, thats what made mine lean out and blow. go to the aeromotive pump, new regulator and bigger line from the pump up, you will also need bigger injectors. Dave at MDG rigged mine so the fuel pump and regulator stayed right on the same bracket.

Boy, from all the work we have done on our 675HP package for the HP525EFI I would really like to see those dyno sheet results and build data from Cookin or whoever.
Unless you do all the things like Offshoredrillin is describing you probably are not going to see 600HP from a 500efi that will live and certainly not from a 502EFI (MPI) engine intake manifold and throttlebody!
Eddie Young knows and he has the experience to back that up too.
Just my experienced and work based two cents!
Best Regards,
Ray @ Raylar

I have 502 with a stock bottom end,except for the balancing and gapless rings,Edelbrock large ovals flowed 340@600,42lb ford greentop injecters and Arizona Speeds Ramjet intake with their 1050cfm throttle body and billet fuel rails.The engine made 598@5200 and 670tq at 3700 with a stock merc. fuel pump.The intake was just port matched.Tuned the computer in the boat with MEFI BURN system.Starts great,idles flawless and we were able to improve the the shift into gear.Shifts better than the stock setup.No clunk.
whille. He is not a professional like Ray but has done his own builds
and has had great success. Since I can not build my own engine I
will not doubt him. Now if Minihawk or PokerRun388 made these
claims I would have to say "Bite me".
