Your 502's will work fine for the goal's that you stated.
I have a 382 with 502's that make 620 reliable and very drivable HP that will push the boat to a honest gps speed of 83 mph. You will need good heads but you do not need alot of compression, 9.2:1 will work well and with 89 octane. I am running Bravo one's with "X" gears and a billet top cap I designed and built myself, no drive failures yet. My boat does not have boxes and spins 28" bravo's 5500-5600 rpm with a 50 mph cruise at 3500 rpm. If you want a tested a proven combo call rmbuilder and don't make the mistake of running big cams and junk heads. Jeff |

Boxes will only produce 1-2 mph maximum on a 382. Not a big difference, but they sure look sick.

What's Mr. Nelems say on the subject?? KL |
If I were ordering a new 382 for my own use,I would definately order Stellings.Some performance increases plus resale is better.If I were buying used I would not worry much about it,a 382 is a great boat without boxes. And if you are the kind of boater that's not big on ultimate performance and cruise around at low-mid range with gen and A/C on,the boat is a little more user friendly in those situations,and will stay on plane at a lower speed. It's all good :drink:
