Maybe it's because of the Bravo XR.

He'll be past the limits of it already. He has a 28ft single engine cat, not a 22 single or a 28-32 twin.

i totally understand the concept of not wanting to spend a boat load of money and using parts you already have but i don,t think the op understood what cp told him.as i posted earlier his engine will be a decent runner with the stock hp500 heads&cam BUT no way will it compare to the engine with a good set of aftermarket heads&cam properly sized for marine use.and nobody wants to have problems with their freshly built engine.no matter the direction he goes the proper tuneup including a fuel system that can handle the engines demand is vital or it can fail.all i am saying is a good set of aftermarket heads&cam will absolutly make more power than his stock parts will and anybody that thinks otherwise is either confused or in denial.

I can get heads and a cam but I have that 420 mega blower and chiller that I am going to use. I got rid of the 250 mega. Would aluminum heads be better especially cause of weight. Who would be a good place to get that 525 cam

They will work. No need to "richen" them up necessarily.

If you went with new good flowing heads, cam, chillers, they might be on the borderline being a bit small CFM wise. With the stock heads, I think you'll be just fine with those carbs.

Will you be dyno tuning these engines?

No the motor is in the boat didn't want to pull it . I'm pulling the heads off though wanted to have them rebuilt . That is why I wanted to get a cam since upper end would be off . If I decide to use these heads should I change anything on them for better Flo or lift etc?
