Put 5K into the 454, and you'll STILL be wanting to put those add-ons on a 502.
how bout a 502MPI ....500 efi cam ...crane roller rockers ...Isky lifters ..GM HP heads ...ECU remap ...everything but exhaust .... 8K .......m

I'll say it again here! "There's no replacement for displacement!!" especially in HiPo boat motors!!

How about stroking it to 496?? You could also use toplines for a fairly reasonable build.. And Or you could go with a procharger M1 or M3 unit.. (check your email, I got your question from the Donzi site as well.. )... Lastly if you dont want want to supercharge & you want huge power then using a big CU IN build is the way to go.. call us if that may interest you, we have quite a few options.. Jamie / Lakeside

If they are done right they should be strong runners! What intakes are you going to run?? Jamie / Lakeside

We got Victor Jr's .... but have been told the Darts make a little more power ... Probably let Dean Nickerson set up the Carbs ... only thing confusing is I talked to him about whether he would recomend the Holley or Demon carbs he told me they is no difference ..They are Identical ....m

The holley & Demon are very similar. The Demons are a bit more tuneable & can be tricked out a little bit more..
