We haven't seen much of you lately, call me sometime. How's the place at the river coming along?

Also, if you are in Montgomery, Ala. and you would rather have someone else handle the mods for you, talk to Steve at Cathouse Performance Marine in Prattville. Good friend of mine and takes much pride in his work. Small shop but good guy to deal with. He does a lot of work with Mark at Precision.
Good luck

40BADBOY, you won't see much gain unless you either open up the stock heads, or replace them. They are a big limiting factor on the HP500EFI's. I have done the larger throttle body, and ECm reprogram. Didn't gain schit. So, I finally just Whippled the b itch. I'm good now :-)
I had a friend rebuild his 500 (carb) . new cam, higher compression, but didn't touch the heads. He went up a 1/2 pitch in prop and gained, MAYBE, 2 mph. He's pissed. He didn't touch the heads.

I have a new intake top that will be available soon that has a 2000 cfm throttlebody built right in the top that will bolt right on your intake. I tested one last week on a Merc 525 and picked up 18 HP and 18 #of torque at the same RPM's. I also can reprogram your ecu.
