Default Estimated HP output - Build Sheet attached

Hello all,

Looking to estimate power in order to reprop a boat. The basics include:
Carbed 502 Mag x 2
Each motor has recently been rebuilt with the following parts as well as Stainless Marine Exhaust

Any help would be appreciated.

It looks like pretty much a stock rebuild so I wouldn’t expect enough difference to need new props.

I believe these started off life as the 415HP 502s. This would be very disconcerting if they spent all this money just to keep it stock. From what I gather, they were trying to replicate the HP500 - do you think this build sheet supports that idea? Should this cam, IM, Heads, and exhaust get over 500HP?

Thank you.

I would think those pieces would have the potential to see around 500hp.

This is pretty close to the cam (I think his is on 114 lob sep) and its about the same as an 500EFI cam

Basically its a HP500 with Dart heads so probably 525-550hp depending on the tuning.

Dyno it. It's worth the money. Also make sure it's fully dressed in marine exhaust otherwise the power numbers will be dramatically skewed. You'll also know where it makes the best power which will make dialing in props even easier.

530-550hp depending on how good of a fluff and buff they do on the heads.

If you are going to spin the motors higher there may not be a need for different props.

Thats another good point.

Thank you for your input guys. The motors are in the boat, so I don't think it's worth going for a dyno session yet.
