Sorry I started some bickering, but I will say it's been a informative and knowledgeable read.

If one wants to take these engines to the 675-690 HP level and stay with 9.0 to 1 compression for 89-91 octane fuel, you have got to increase the cubic inches, do serious mods to the stock heads or use aftermarket expensive heads, make serious intake manifold changes and use better camshaft profiles to get there. Our $14,600 price tag for the HP525efi to HP675efi package is a good "Dipstick" for what an engine owner will need to spend to get into these power numbers with a reliable, non-drive busting, turnkey engine package.

Good point Ray. There should be a standard and no BS.
I actually watched my motor dinod and I was pleased with the result. Can't brag about 600+ HP's but with all accessories, and the same headers, with water, PS pump, etc. 581 & 580, I felt was pretty ok for a 525. |

Mine was dynoed with headers and no acc.:coolcowboy:It wasn't fully tuned either.I had a 383 dynoed fully dressed with wet exhaust several yrs. ago and still had to retune it in the boat.We finished my 502 on the boat with MEFI BURN AND A LAPTOP.The total cost was under 10k including the new exhaust and I picked up 9 mph[gps] so far.The short block is stock except it was decked,balanced,line bored,new bearings,oil pump and gapless rings.The engine only had 180 hrs when it was taken apart.I bought the Edelbrock large ovals used but never installed so I saved some cash.The boat runs well on 89 octane.Tyler Crockett advised me to add the monoblade throttle body,upgrade the fuel system and get a bigger flame arrestor so I did.Will plop it in the water in a couple weeks to see if it has more snot.:evilb:

The main thing people need to grasp with the 500 and 525 that the limiting factor to the HP of these engines is the manifold itself, like cookin did if you port match everything you may get a little more, but take off the manifold and put on a single plane and throttle body spin it to 6000 and yes you will make HP. the 500/525 intake plenums like old school TPI are designed for torque. they max out at about 5600 rpm..they make a great and reliable pkg though properly done.

ok dynoing your motor is ok but the real test is when your motor is in the boat.:drink: i drove cookins boat when loranzoe tune it . for a boat that size that baby runs great! i was surprize how fast it got up to top speed.lot of power at midrange . 69.9 on gps 75mph on the dream meter:drink: bob made some new mod to the motor and had the prop twik. hoping to fine tune the boat next week . loranzoe did a great jop on this motor.

what is the boat you are putting this motor in????
Headers leaked, but little and no motor demage. It's a good thing I drained the headers after every use. The 525's are in a 08 Avanti. The last of it's kind. :) It's up for sale, but price just went up due to the great dino result. lol |
