Had one with a built 454 5700rpm ran 79-81 with 27 mirage prop. fast boat that handled well for the size. Wish I had it back.

Hi, how can you make 5700 rpm out of 454? I HAVE A VOLVO ENGINE 7.4 gi and with 25P prop it can only turn 4200 rpm not more, There is CMI headers added but no other modifications at all...

Hi,
I exactly need the kind of tweeks you above suggested? what is the easiest way to tweak it to 500 hp?
What kind of prop will i need after tweeking?

The HP 500 fastscarab22 is referring to is a Merc 502ci 500 Horsepower engine. The tweaks you need to make your stock 330 500 horsepower is about $4000-$5000.

With exhaust you do gain HP if it is there, but it is not usually significant enough if that is the only thing you change. Usually the stock exhaust will support stock HP. If you start adding modifications that make your engine breath better then you will need get a better exhaust. You need approximately 15-20HP/ 1mph net gain in speed. (all hulls vary)
