Zero? Really Griff?
The Gil's have those siameased center ports. The CMI's gotta make a difference.

I was supercharged and SC'd engines really don't need as good of exhaust to still make the same power. They compensate with boost. I replaced the Gil's due to cracking and went with CMI Unitops. They are an 1 piece E Top. I didn't gain anything.

Any thoughts? I'm a little worried now! (I may also have a brand new 741 for sale soon too!)
You will have spin the engine at about 5800rpms with a 741 to reach peak HP in with 454. A 731 will make more power and torque at lower rpms, probably around 5400 and have a better torque curve.

Will the 741 work in my 2000 500EFI's and what if any improvements will I see? I plan on doing head work and reprograming the ECM but wandered about switching the cam
Thanks Steve

Formula377,

I have two sets of Comp Cams roller lifters I am willing to sell They have low hours and are in great shape. They are for Mark IV and Gen V engines.
Let me know if you are interested.

It should work fine. You may want to go with the 525EFI cam instead. Its a 741 ground a 114 lob sep instead of the standard 112. It'll idle a little smoother and probably have a little flatter torque curve.

Just make sure that whoever does the ECM knows exactly what you have. It may be easier to use a known combo by one of the reputable builders.
